Related software products are

STIL
The Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library, which provides the table handling classes on which TOPCAT is based.
STILTS
The STIL Tool Set, which provides some command-line tools based on STIL. The intention is that this should be a non-graphical counterpart to TOPCAT, providing many of the same facilities (matching, row selection, format conversion etc) but in a form which can be incorporated into scripts, web services, etc. The current release only contains a few of these features however.

See the TOPCAT web page, http://www.starlink.ac.uk/topcat/ for the latest news and releases.
