[daip] FITS document

[Imai Hiroshi]

Dear Sir AIPS staff members,

I acknowledge for your kind help for trouble shooting in AIPS
in many times.

I am now looking for the newest version of the document,
'FITS Format for Interferometry Data Interchange' written by
P.J. Diamond and D.C. Wells. I have the document released 
on 1992 June 16, but need the newer version.

I am now participaing in NAOJ's VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio 
Astrometry) project. My major work in the project is to design
the software for high precision astrometry. Output of the VERA
array will be correlated using Mitaka FX correlator and later 
coverted to FITS files to process in AIPS. However, several 
information is not be transported in the FITS files nowadays
for high precision astrometry. 

The above document is quite useful to us to understand what 
kinds of information are needed or supported in FITS format
for VLBI data.

I am very glad if you kindly provide information about the 
newer version of the above document.

Sincerely yours,

Hiroshi Imai
