More changes to references. Removed top admonishment to add more footnotes, which I think I've done.
Added a "See also" section and moved the astronomy portal tag there, as recommended

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 CASA, it continues to evolve and remains widely used.
