Appendix 2: MIRIAD - AIPS++ dictionary

This appendix provides a list of common Miriad tasks, and their equivalent AIPS++ tool or tool function names. The two packages differ in both their architecture and calibration and imaging models, and there is often not a direct correspondence. However, this index does provide a scientific user of AIPS++ who is familiar with MIRIAD, with a simple translation table to map their existing data reduction knowledge to the new package.
