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.
65 // </motivation>
