The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old AIPS++/CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) package. This split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and applications.

This package contains the tools built with CASA core:

* taql - query language for casacore tables * measuresdata - create data tables for measures * imageregrid, imagecalc, showtable, showtablelock, findmeastable, fits2table, imreorder, casahdf5support, msselect, image2fits, imageslice, etc.
