RED is a set of cosmology routines written in IDL. There are two main programs: the driver routine 'RED.PRO' and the file 'COSMOLOGY_ROUTINES.PRO' which contains all the cosmological functions. See David Hogg's astro-ph paper astro-ph/9905116 for details.
Downloading and installation are very quick and straight-forward. Download the source red.tar.gz and unpack it in a local IDL sub-directory (e.g., ${HOME}/idl). If this directory is not part of your IDL path then add the line "setenv IDL_PATH $IDL_PATH{:}+${HOME}/idl/red" to your ${HOME}/.idlenv file. Developments and changes will be recorded in this HISTORY file.
