Changed "widely used" to "used" -- widely is a bit of a stretch I think
m Improved language at end of introduction - 'still in use' is better than 'still used'.

The '''Astronomical Image Processing System''' (AIPS) is a software package to support the reduction and analysis of data taken with radio telescopes. Developed predominantly for use with the then under-construction [[Very Large Array|VLA]], the generality inherent in its design allowed it to become the standard data-reduction package for most radio interferometers, including [[VLBI]]. Limited single-dish capability is also featured. Although partially replaced by [[AIPS++#AIPS++/CASA|CASA]], it continues to evolve and remains usedin use.
