The opinions expressed are those of the user and not necessarily those of CONVEX. 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. D.
