CUDOS MOF Utilities
Welcome to the CUDOS MOF Utilities (also known as CMU) official wiki pages. The CUDOS MOF Utilities were first released in 2004 as freeware, on the now defunct website of the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Ultrhigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS).

Request a new function
If you could greatly benefit from a new function in the software, you can lodge your request the New Function Requests page. If it is easy to implement, has clear benefits and I have some time, I might actually implement it one day... You can also use this page for other suggestions.
