We present several applications of the AIPS++ environment as applied to current astrophysical problems. In particular, we include several examples of AIPS++ in-use to monitor and reduce atmospheric tipper data, radio frequency interference and a tool for aiding cometary OH observations. Examples of single dish data reduced in AIPS++ are also presented. We also report on the use of AIPS++ to explore the conflicting results in studies of molecular cloud structure and morphology. We discuss several methods for determining the structure of interstellar gas, paying particular attention to the biases of each method. We use AIPS++ to model gas clouds with varying morphologies to show how the various analyses are biased; we then place reasonable limits on the structure of molecular clouds.
