A new AVS module is available for astronomers at IAC (avs.ncsc.org).
This module, called read_fits, reads into an AVS field primary data,
image extensions, Ascii tables, fixed and variable length binary tables
>from any HDU of a FITS formatted file. It can also display keywords
and table components in a text window. It handles byte, 16-bit integer,
32-bit integer, 32-bit real and 64-bit real data. It also supports complex
and double complex data for tables only in the text window.
It is based on the FITSIO package from W.D. Pence.

Enjoy it.
