IBIS is a set of computer programs dedicated to the processing of electron micrographs, mainly for structural analysis of biological macromolecules. We present IBIS version 3, a UNIX/OSF/Motif 1.2-based package which carries out and provides visual display of the many operations essential to image analysis. To ensure portability, the software is written in FORTRAN 77 for computing mathematical functions and in C for display routines. A description of the IBIS OSF/Motif interface is given with the new functions added to the original version. IBIS v.3 is available free of charge to other laboratories on the internet via anonymous ftp (URL: ftp://ftp.univ-rennesl.fr/pub/incoming/IBIS.tar.Z).
