[daip] AIPS image header question

Dear Dr. Greisen,

   Thank you for the prior advice on astrometry. I have implemented it and it appears to be working perfectly.

   Here is a new question:

  I am hacking LISTR to allow me to save the summary results of OPTY='MATX' operations into the file header as keyword/value pairs so that my procedures can get at them. I don't expect to ever need to save more than a few for any given file, but I am making the code general enough to handle 100, # 00 to 99, in each of the three MATX summary quantities: mean, std-dev of mean, and sample std-dev.
  
  Including the possibility of the DPARM(1)=3,4,5 double matrix reports, this could be up to 600 keywords/values. 

  Is there a limit on how many values can be saved into the file header as keyword/value pairs?

  Thanks for your time.

Sincerely yours,

Sam Conner
