GILDAS is a collection of state-of-the-art software oriented toward

30M telescope and the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array NOEMA (except VLBI
observations). GILDAS is easily extensible. GILDAS is written in
Fortran-90/95/2003/2008, with a few parts in C/C++ (mainly keyboard
interaction, plotting, widgets).
