49// <synopsis>
50// The MeasurementSets module handles storage of telescope data in Casacore
51// tables and defines functions to access the data.
52// The MSFits module is an extra layer on top of MeasurementSets to convert
53// a MeasurementSet to and from FITS.
54// There are classes for three FITS formats:
55// <ul>
56// <li> Conventional UVFits
57// <li> IDIFits
58// <li> Single Dish FITS
59// </ul>
60// </synopsis>
61
62// <motivation>
63// To avoid that package <src>ms</src> depends on FITS (and cfitsio),
64// all FITS-related MS code is put in a separate package.
