[daip] writing fits files with dd

[Michael Bietenholz]

Do you know if this can be done so that they are readable by AIPS.

Ie., if I have fits disk files called xxx.fits, yyy.fits, etc; do know
the invocation of dd that will write these to a tape so I can then
read them

ie. "dd if=xxx.fits of=/dev/rmt/0ln bs=28800"
     dd if=yyy.fits of=/dev/rmt/0ln bs=28800"

(I assume I need some form of blocking into the FITS n*2880 blocks)

(I could also just FITLD them and then FITTP them, just wondering if
there was a shortcut)

          thanks,           michael
