Basically you get a slide show with text annotations. These are in French - my French ability being what it is I could make out about 1 word in 4! but I think I could get the gist of what they were saying. It looks like a pretty good general pupose astronomical image processing system. Seems to support FITS and maybe the ST-* formats (as well as GIF, PCX, BMP?). Lots of features including mapping transformations, photometry, astrometry etc. It would be nice to know if there is a manual in English for it! :-) Anyone else got better information - or better yet, has anyone actually got it?
