+The Common Pipeline Library (CPL) comprises a set of ISO-C libraries
+that provide a comprehensive, efficient and robust software
+toolkit. It forms a basis for the creation of automated astronomical
+data-reduction tasks (known as "pipelines"). CPL Title Graphic The CPL
+was developed to standardise the way VLT instrument pipelines are
+built, to shorten their development cycle and to ease their
+maintenance. However, it may be more generally applied to any similar
+application, and the details of the CPL code have been engineered in a
+way to make the library portable and flexible, as well as minimising
+external dependencies.
