.RP .TL IRAF Applications Packages .br Package Structure and Requirements .AU IRAF Group CSAC .AI .K2 "" "" "*" September 1983 (draft) .AB The IRAF applications software is decomposed into a set of modular \fIpackages\fR, i.e., collections of related CL callable programs. The requirements for each package are outlined, and the interdependence of the separate packages are described. This document concentrates on the scientific capabilities of the IRAF system, i.e., on the form of the system as viewed by the user at the command language (CL) level. Though an attempt has been made to include descriptions of all packages currently planned for the system, we have presented only the minimum requirements for each package. Finally, the current KPNO reduction and analysis software is summarized, giving for each existing program the name of the corresponding IRAF package which will provide comparable functionality. .AE
