Does any one have a FITS image file reader for PV-WAVE?

A very complete set of IDL utilities for FITS files can be found in the
Astronomy User's Library maintained by Wayne Landsman at the NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center. These should be applicable to PV-WAVE as well. A recent
addition to this library also supports FITS binary tables. The information
about access to this library is reproduced below

THE IDL ASTRONOMY USER'S LIBRARY
================================

(January 1992)

The IDL Astronomy Users Library is a central repository for general purpose
astronomy procedures written in IDL. The library currently contains
300+ procedures including general FITS I/O, interfaces with STSDAS and IRAF,
astronomical utilities, and photometry and spectral analysis procedures.
The library is not meant to be an integrated package, but rather is a
collection of procedures from which users can pick and choose (and possibly
modify) for their own use. Submitted procedures are given a cursory testing,
but are basically stored in the library as submitted. Funding for the IDL
Astronomy User's Library began May 15, 1990 under the NASA Astrophysics
Software Aids program.

The success of the IDL Astronomy User's Library will depend upon the
willingness of users to give as well as take. Submission of relevant
procedures is strongly encouraged. Equally important is the notification
(or correction) of programming bugs or documentation errors.

Questions about the IDL Astronomy Library can be addressed to
