//
// <etymology>
// This class lists the ancilliary or header information from a
// MeasurementSet in a Summary format.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// MSs consist of pixels and descriptive information stored in what
// is loosely termed the header. This is information describing the
// coordinate system, the image units etc.  This class enables you to
// retrieve the descriptive header information and/or list it.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcBlock>
//     PagedMS<Float> inMS(fileName);
//     MSSummary<Float> header(inMS);
//     LogOrigin or("myClass", "myFunction(...)", WHERE);
//     LogIO os(or);
//     header.list(os);
// </srcBlock>
// A <src>PagedMS</src> object is constructed and then logged to the 
// supplied <src>LogIO</src> object.
// </example>
//
// <note role=caution>
// Note that if the <src>PagedMS</src> goes out of scope, this
// class will retrieve rubbish as it just maintains a pointer
// to the image.
// </note>
//
// <motivation>
// The viewing of the image header is a basic capability that is
// commonly required.
// </motivation>
//
// <todo asof="1998/12/09">
//  There are various placeholders which will need to be activated for
//  Version 2 of the MeasurementSet definition.
// </todo>
