I have tried at least the READFITS procedure on the IPAC ISSA files and
it works fine. The problem was that one of the procedures called by
READFITS had been inadvertantly left in. If that procedure (sxaddpar)
is removed from the FITS directory (I think) READFITS should work. The
correct version is in the SDAS directory.
