GLAST Offline software - a fusion of Particle- and Astro-Physics Worlds We will describe the planned data flow from space and components of our software system on the ground, from HEP-like event reconstruction and simulation to our interface with the astronomy world, supplying astro-standard tools for high level analysis. We will describe our unique pair conversion reconstruction as well as the infrastructure that binds our software together. We will also describe the data handling tools we are developing to manage the event processing and serve up the results to the collaboration. We will also touch on our connection to NASA and its public data policy.
