The programs VIPER and XANES Dactyloscope represent a broad collection of analysis tools for EXAFS and XANES spectroscopies. Their 20-year-long history has allowed fine tuning of the codes on numerous data sets from many synchrotron beamlines and their use in various application scenarios. The graphical interface is focused on rich visual representation of the data. This goal is achieved by simultaneous dynamical plotting of several data transforms along the analysis pipeline and by optimizing the usage of the screen space. To handle large data sets and to enable parallel computation, the programs will soon be rewritten as plug-ins to a modern data-analysis platform, but the essence of the analysis pipeline will be inherited from VIPER and XANES Dactyloscope. Both programs are freeware, and can be found online using the keywords `VIPER EXAFS'. The distribution package also includes detailed documentation and examples.
