Hi!

I am announcing a first public release of satlas!

Satlas is an electronic atlas of the solar spectrum and targeted
primarily for astronomers who do a lot of spectral analysis work.
It is based on Gtk+ and MySQL. MySQL is used to store, manage and
provide a quick access to the data, while Gtk+ provides GUI.

Some functionality of satlas can be also accessed through the command
line.

*Features* of satlas v0.95:

	- Display and browse solar spectrum in a specified wavelength
	  range.
	- Display data on the individual lines in the spectrum.
	- Using more detailed atomic information (not for all lines),
	  such as oscillator strengths, excitation and ionization
	  potentials, etc., generate inputs for WIDTH9, a numerical
	  code written to calculate chemical element abundances.

Satlas seems to be VERY helpful for users of IRAF's splot task who
are measuring equivalent widths.

More detailed information and the source code along with the data can
be access from:

Snapshots are also provided! :-)))

Satlas is distributed under GNU Public License.

Any questions, comments, blames and suggestions are welcomed. Send
them to serge@astro.unc.edu.
