READ FITS

            [CLEAN\]READ Buffer File [/COMPACT]

        For most buffers of type "Data Cube" (e.g. BEAM, CLEAN, DIRTY,  PRIMARY,
        RESIDUAL,  SINGLEDISH, SKY), the input File can be in FITS format.  READ
        will check for the appropriate data format  when  appropriate.   If  the
        buffer does not accept FITS data format, an error message is issued.

        UVFITS data format is not supported for UV data, because a number of im-
        portant informations is sometimes stored  in  FITS  Extensions.   UVFITS
        format  files should be converted to UV Tables in the GILDAS data format
        using the "@ fits_to_uvt" script.
