Most of the commands, however, are not specific to FEROS so that they can be used to reduce data from other fiber-linked echelle spectrographs as well. <P> This chapter covers the following items: <UL> <LI>Brief description of FEROS <LI>General description of the FEROS data reduction software, i.e. command parameters and execution <LI>Description of the use of the batches for on-line reduction of FEROS data </UL> <P> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
