<h1>ASAP background</h1>
ASAP is developed in c++ using a thin <a
href="http://www.python.org">python</a> front-end, to make it
scriptable. The ASAP user interface is <a
href="http://ipython.scipy.org">ipython</a>. The c++ code reuses
several <a href="http://aips2.nrao.edu/daily/docs/casa.html">casa</a>
libraries.
It has been developed in the last nine months and has been released to
ATNF users.
ASAP v2.0 underwent a major re-design to support varying numbers of channels per IF (or Beam). It also allows much more flexible data selection via the <b>seletcor</b> object.
Currently, the package has only been tested on linux (debian) system,
other linux and OSX binaries are going to be avaliable soon.
