Scisoft is a collection of astronomical software.

The latest version of Scisoft, version 5, is now ready for release. Starting from version 5 Linux will be the only operating system supported.

Scisoft is a project within ESO to provide a collection of astronomical software utilities, mostly public domain tools developed outside ESO, in a uniform way at all four ESO sites. Major data-analysis packages (eg, IRAF/STSDAS, ESO-MIDAS and IDL) are included as well as many smaller utilities such as DS9, Skycat, PyRAF, SExtrator etc.

Scisoft can be ordered directly on the web, free of charge: http://www.eso.org/scisoft
