So with the EPOS software package one can calculate the accurate ephemerides for many objects and get the quick illustration of their motion as well. ...

... The ESO-MIDAS system is built along lines which should allow easy integration of complex analysis algorithms as well as allowing greater flexibility in interactive use and in the creation of user specific procedures from the basic building blocks. The first design proposal for ESO-MIDAS, made late 1980, used some ideas from the UK STARLINK project for the software interface definitions. ... It consists of the following three parts, the monitor, the applications, and the interfaces. ...

... Of the files generated, only the ODF summary file is fully compliant with the ODF interface control document. For the other files, only those components required by the ODF and calibration access layers of the XMM SAS are generated. odffix aims to make it possible to run SAS tasks on pseudo-ODFs, not to generate full-blown ODFs. In practice this means that odffix generates files with structures that are a subset of those described in the ODF interface control document. ...
