Java NEWSTAR


Java NEWSTAR is a java-based version of NEWSTAR - an astronomical data analyzing system of Nobeyama data - which can run on Linux and MacOSX.
The Java NEWSTAR is NOT compatibile with Windows systems because some background programs are written in Fortran and C.
Installation is "easier" and runs "lighter" than the original NEWSTAR because the Java NEWSTAR can run without AIPS.
