This report describes the results of testing to assess the ability of
AIPS++ to be adapted to the needs of the ALMA
reduction software. Specifically:
1) how can AIPS++ be adapted to reduce data of an instrument for which
it was not designed, 
2) how long is the learning curve for developers who have sufficient
experience in the processing of millimeter data,
but no experience at all of the AIPS++ programming environment, and 3)
can we perform an end-to-end experiment on 
actual, real-life millimeter-wave spectroscopic data? This report
describes the course of implementation for these
tests and the final results and conclusions.
