A large-scale interactive one-dimensional array processing system

Abstract

The work describes a scientist/user oriented interactive program for processing one-dimensional arrays. It is shown that the program is oriented toward processing spectrophotometric astronomical data and can also be used for general I-D array processing. Further, the program has totally free format input with a sophisticated decoding capability which can cope with typographical plus other possible mistakes. Finally, a description of the program is given to provide information on implementing a large-scale data-reduction facility.
