EPIC system consists a complete suite of routines for graphical display and data analysis. This system specifically supports oceanographic time series and hydrographic (CTD, XBT, bottle) data. EPIC is a complete system including a data selection module and a suite of over 100 graphics display and analysis programs. System elements for data selection, data display, and data analysis function as independent modules. The system is well documented, with a user manual and extensive on-line help. The system is written in Fortran and C, and all elements are supported for UNIX and VAX/VMS computers.

Following are the lists of EPIC programs for UNIX and VAX/VMS.
