Our ftp site computer has been down for over a week now. We are
working on bringing it back up, hopefully within a few days. I have
a new announcement ready and will post it when we are back up. A
number of new routines have been added and some have been dropped.
Among the dropped are the FITS routines since I no longer am working
with FITS images and so cannot support them very well. I still have
the old versions, but would recommend getting the latest FITS
routines from the Goddard library. The Goddard address is (I think):

idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov IP number: 128.183.57.82

FITS software for IDL is available via anonymous ftp from
idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov. It'll probably work in PV-WAVE as well.
