The C-Munipack is the software package, which offers the complete solution for reduction of images carried out by CCD camera, intended on a observation of variable stars. Each step of reduction process can be run from the command line or via simple and intuitive graphical user interface.

The project follows up with the Munipack package, the programs and tools have the same name, but in difference to original Munipack, it is implemented in C/C++ language and therefore it is more portable to other operating systems and platforms. The package contains a few new functions in addition. Syntax of the command-line parameters is similar in both projects, the exceptions are described in the documentation.

Graphical user interface is familiar for Munidos users, but it takes full advantage of a graphical environment, that's why the interface is more comfort and offers more control over the reduction process than original text interface of the Munidos. The Muniwin program is implemented in Delphi language and can be run only on Windows system.
