              Abstract: Mn_Fit is an interactive fitting and plotting package,
                        that uses MINUIT to fit histograms or data read in
                        from a file and displays the fit results on a screen.
                        Many functions are built into the package and it is
                        easy for the user to add new ones. Fitting of
                        1-D and 2-D histograms is possible, and you can
                        also fit several histograms simultaneously
                        and apply constraints on the function parameters.
                        Likelihood fitting is built-in and can also
                        take into account limited Monte Carlo statistics.
                        Hardcopies of pictures can easily be made with a
                        quality suitable for publication. Mn_Fit can also be
                        used purely as a plotting package without using the
                        fitting.
