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