Abstract

We describe the features of the COMPASS, the system for the processing and analysis of data from COMPTEL a gamma-ray telescope which will be put into orbit onboard the NASA Gamma-Ray Observatory. The main features of the COMPASS are: high host system independence, data integrity maintenance facilities, a menu-controlled user shell, and data access via data abstractions.
