READ

 

        FITS\READ [File0me] [/CHECK]

    This command is used to Read data from FITS format.  Not all FITS  tapes
    may  be  read  by CLASS, and some header information might be incomplete
    when doing so.

    On tape, the new scan is read from current tape position, and  the  tape
    is  left  at  the  beginning of next file. On disks and CDroms, the file
    name argument is compulsory.

    Option /CHECK can be used to list the header while reading the file.
