XAS and FITSIO
The FITSIO library developed by Bill Pence of
HEASARC/GSFC
is used in XAS in a
limited sense only.
- by the XAS to/from FITS conversion programs (4 programs)
- on VMS some VOS routines used to convert binary representation from IEEE to VMS
format use assembler code (originally developed by the IRAF team) included in
the FITSIO library
For this reason support has been frozen to version 3.21 of FITSIO. This is not the latest version.
No attempt or test has been made to reload XAS with more recent version and usage with
later version is unsupported
If you want to retrieve the latest version look at the
GSFC legacy ftp server.
