... Context files provide a way to group commands which relate to a specific reduction sequence or application package. For example, the command SET/CONTEXT applic1 will execute the MIDAS procedure applic1.ctx , which would contain all the new command definitions for the application package applic1 as well as any new keyword definitions and default settings. Each enabled context has a corresponding context no. which links new commands to the context in which they were created. ...

... In this paper, we present an interactive signal-processing environment called Grid. ... Grid is a graphical interactive multi-threaded signal-processing environment which allows the creation of complex arrays of algorithms (called units within Grid) by simply choosing the desired units from a selection of toolboxes then graphically wiring them together. Figure: Grid's ToolBox window consists of a section which lists the available toolboxes and another showing its associated tools. ...
