Techniques to extract information from spectra of unresolved multi-component systems are revised, with emphasis on recent developments and practical aspects. We review the cross-correlation techniques developed to deal with such spectra, discuss the determination of the broadening function and compare techniques to reconstruct component spectra. The recent results obtained by separating or disentangling the component spectra is summarised. An evaluation is made of possible indeterminacies and random and systematic errors in the component spectra.
