Software

• System: VAX/VMS or UNIX operating systems.
• Compilers: C- and FORTRAN-77 compilers (a FORTRAN-to-C convertion package may be used instead of a FORTRAN-77 compiler).
• Libraries: AGL is used for all plotting in MIDAS. This library is normally available on the release media but can also be obtained from the Italian ASTRONET (free of charge for non-profit research institutes).

  NAG is used in a few packages such as fitting. It is under license and can be purchased from the Numerical Algorithms Group. MIDAS can be installed without this library in which case some commands will be unavailable.
