FITS2HDS

Converts FITS table or image data into HDS files. A HDS file is produced for each image or table contained in the FITS file. IF the FITS keyword "EXTNAME" is present this is appended to the output filename supplied, otherwise a number is added for each extra table. Similar tables are joined together if they have the same column names and extension name.

FITS2HDS will attempt to create the standard NDF axis structure for image data using information contained in the keywords, unless the hidden parameter "ASTERIX" is set false.
