A package of computer-programs is presented, which is suited for the evaluation of stellar spectra in regard of line positions in order to determine the magnetic field strength and the radial velocity. The programs have been developed for the calculation of the measuring data obtained from photographic spectrograms but could be generalized for the online observation in a spectrograph at the telescope using an electronic detector.

The network of programs may be amplified deliberately as required for any special application. For the exchange of data among cooperating institutes we propose the standardization of programs and data-files as outlined below.
