Example

      include 'almati2ms.g'
      a := almati2ms(msfile='ALMA.ms', fitsin='ALMA-TI.fits', append=F);
      a.fill()
      a.done()

This example creates an almati2ms tool, sets the data source as a disk file called ALMA-TI.fits, and specifies that the data should be written to an output MS called ALMA.ms. The MS will be over-written if it already exists.
