<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>STILTS is a set of command-line tools for processing tabular data.
It has been designed for, but is not restricted to, use on astronomical
data such as source catalogues.
It contains both generic (format-independent) table processing tools and
tools for processing VOTable documents. Facilities offered include
crossmatching,
format conversion,
format validation,
column calculation and rearrangement,
row selection,
sorting,
plotting,
statistical calculations
and metadata display.
Calculations on cell data can be performed using a powerful and
extensible expression language.
</p>
<p>The package is written in pure Java and based on
<a href="http://www.starlink.ac.uk/stil/">STIL</a>,
the Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library.
This gives it high portability, support for many data formats
(including FITS, VOTable, text-based formats and SQL databases),
extensibility and scalability. Where possible the tools are
written to accept streamed data so the size of tables which can
be processed is not limited by available memory.
As well as the tutorial and reference information in this document,
detailed on-line help is available from the tools themselves.
</p>
<p>The STILTS application is available under the GNU General Public License
(GPL) though most parts of the library code may alternatively be used
under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
</p>
<p><em>This document describes the Debian version of STILTS, which differs in a
few properties from the original.</em>
