MERLIN is a comprehensive software package for survey data processing. It has been developed for over 20 years, and is now one of the best-known and most widely-used packages of its kind.
MERLIN is a language based product, aimed at the professional survey analyser. We recommend MERLIN for people who will spend at least 75% of their time using it, in order that they will be able to develop and retain skills in the use of this language; for those processing data on a less frequent basis, we recommend MERLINPLUS.
MERLIN is often compared with Quantum
