Institutes
----------

GILDAS was initiated in 1983 at the Observatoire de Grenoble. It quickly
developed as an informal collaboration between LAOG/OBS. DE GRENOBLE and
IRAM. The GILDAS developments are now supported by additional partners:
L3AB/OBS. DE BORDEAUX and LERMA/OBS. DE PARIS. GILDAS also includes an old
version of the ATM library (1986). We are working on interfacing the
current ATM library. ATM is developed and maintained by IEM/CSIC.

Contributions from and discussions with all GILDAS users are gratefully
acknowledged.
