00049 // <synopsis>
00050 // The MeasurementSets module handles storage of telescope data in Casacore
00051 // tables and defines functions to access the data.
00052 // The MSFits module is an extra layer on top of MeasurementSets to convert
00053 // a MeasurementSet to and from FITS.
00054 // There are classes for three FITS formats:
00055 // <ul>
00056 //  <li> Conventional UVFits
00057 //  <li> IDIFits
00058 //  <li> Single Dish FITS
00059 // </ul>
00060 // </synopsis> 
00061 
00062 // <motivation>
00063 // To avoid that package <src>ms</src> depends on FITS (and cfitsio),
00064 // all FITS-related MS code is put in a separate package.
00065 // </motivation>
