[Gdal-dev] CFITS support

[Simon Perkins]

I was about to reply but Frank has beaten me to it. If the format you 
want to use is FITS (a standard format used by astronomers) as opposed 
to FIT (an obscure SGI developed format), then use '-of fits'. If that 
still doesn't work, tell me where I can get an example file from and 
I'll see what I can do.

Cheers,

Sy
