C-MUNIPACK
==========
The software package presents the complete solution for reduction of images
carried out by CCD camera, oriented on a observation of variable stars.


Introduction
------------
The software package C-Munipack presents the complete system for reduction of
images carried out by CCD camera, oriented at the observation of variable stars.
The specific programs of reduction process can be called from command line or
via intuitive graphical user interface. For developers a dynamic-link library
with powerfull interface is available.

The project is based on the previous Munipack package, the programs have the
same name, but contrary to Munipack, it is coded in C language and it contains
a several new functions and tools in addition. Assignment of the command-line
parameters and the configuration files is similar in both projects, exceptions
are described in the project documentation.

Graphical user interface should be familiar for Munidos users, but it takes
full advantage of graphical environment, and therefore the interface is more
comfortable and enables user an improved control over reduction process in
comparison with original interface of Munidos.
