Introduction

μ-ARGUS is a software program designed to create safe micro-data files. The CASC-project took a previous version of μ-ARGUS, developed a.o. during the SDC-project and prototypes before that, as a starting point. At the end of the CASC-project version 4.0 was available.

The ESSnet-project has made it possible to further extend μ-ARGUS. This resulted in Version 4.2.

Partly funded by Eurostat, a project was started on 20 December 2012 to port the at that time most recent version of μ-ARGUS to an Open Source version. The resulting version should contain the possibility to be run on a Windows platform as well as on a Linux/Unix platform.
As of version 5.1.6 we will only provide 64 bit versions with bundled JRE (Zulu Open JRE).

We have build μ-ARGUS on 32 bit Ubuntu 14.4.0 up to version 5.1.1 only. We do not have enough Linux expertise to continuously develop a Linux version. So, in case you want a newer version, please go to sdcTools on GitHub to download the sources and compile your own newer version.
