The 15OCT98 release of AIPS, the Astronomical Image Processing System, is
now available.  AIPS is a package aimed at the Radio Astronomer and is
most useful for reduction and analysis of data from Synthesis Telescopes
like the VLA and VLBA.  

AIPS is covered by the Free Software Foundation's General Public License.
You may obtain AIPS via ANONYMOUS ftp:

or	aips.nrao.edu:/aips/15OCT98.tar.Z   (Compressed, 36.1 Megabytes)

Be sure to get and read the notices in files /aips/README, in

finally the /aips/INSTALL.PS Installation Summary, before starting any

A CDrom version of this release (with live binaries for Intel/Linux and
Solaris) should be available in the very near future.  A second
announcement will be made when this option can be exercised.  In the
meantime, you can place an order for a CD (or tape; we prefer CD though):

        http://www.cv.nrao.edu/aips/forms/aipsorder.html

and we will ship the CD once it has been burned.
