Introduction

The design of the AIPS++ system has been described in two previous documents ``System management for AIPS++ - Part 1: organization and distribution'', and ``Part 2: activation, generation, and verification''. A report describing progress to 1992/Mar/14 was delivered to the March AIPS++ steering committee meeting in Socorro. This paper describes further progress in implementing the design, particularly concerning the code distribution system.

Most of the major functional elements of $\cal {A}$ IPS system management are now present to some extent in AIPS++. Although not necessarily a good indicator of progress, the statistics of code written may be of interest:

                                       shell scripts:  2778
                              aipsinit and aipshosts:   354
                 aipsrc, aipsrc templates, and getrc:   260
         makefiles, makedefs, and makedefs templates:  1417
                             man pages for the above:   676
                                                       ----
                                               total:  5485

Development will be required throughout the life of AIPS++, but I would estimate very subjectively that the system is about 70% complete,
