| Version 1.9 Build 1488 |

In addition to the core capabilities mentioned above, there are several enhancements for VLA end-to-end reduction that should see continued development over the next 6 months:
o Continuum subtraction and bandpass correction for spectral line data.
o Wide-field imaging. Concentrate on computing efficiency and ease of setting up the multiple fields and clean boxes. The automatic use of the RCP and LCP beam offsets in aips++ is a significant improvement over that in AIPS. Self-calibration is a must for these fields.
o Mosaic imaging of continuum and spectral-line data.
o A major overhaul of the documentation. For example putting links under the wrench to take the user to helpful documentation, and having help requests that drive a browser to the relevant part of the Getting Results or the Cookbook. Many of the little pop-up yellow help windows show trivial or obscure comments. These should be rationalized and expanded upon.
o The implementation of several Wizards to lead novice users step-by- step through VLA calibration and imaging of fairly simple datasets.
o The implementation of a Difmap-like imaging/self-calibration/editing/ modelfitting environment.
