Minos is a program that can store information about many objects and manage them is a way that allows for easy processing. It was designed for using FORM on a large (10000+) number of Feynman diagrams, each of which had to be run separately. At a later stage the core parts of it have been made part of FORM for its tablebase facilities.
Amoung its newest features are support for computers with more than one processor.
