00048 // <synopsis>
00049 // The MeasurementSets module handles storage of telescope data in AIPS++
00050 // tables and defines functions to access the data.
00051 // The MSFits module is an extra layer on top of MeasurementSets to convert
00052 // a MeasurementSet to and from FITS.
00053 // There are classes for three FITS formats:
00054 // <ul>
00055 //  <li> Conventional UVFits
00056 //  <li> IDIFits
00057 //  <li> Single Dish FITS
00058 // </ul>
00059 // </synopsis> 
00060 
00061 // <motivation>
00062 // To avoid that package <src>ms</src> depends on FITS (and cfitsio),
00063 // all FITS-related MS code is put in a separate package.
00064 // </motivation>
