Bob Nelson is well known to the variable star observing community, and many of his software tools and spreadsheets have been fundamental to the planning and analysis phases of VSS projects.
VSS is proud to provide Bob a new digital home for his tools, spreadsheets, software and other resources.d
All of this is free – use as you wish. They work well for Windows platforms but may also load into Linux Open Office and Mac (Windows emulation?).
