David Elliot gave a very good answer to this question, saying that the software
is actually produced by IPT, and describing its features.

The one thing that I would add is that IPT actually uses a MIPS machine in-
house as a file server, so it must work well enough... If you have specific
questions you should call them. Their telephone number is (818) 347-7791
and they have an email address (which I have not yet tested): billy@isi.edu
