Hi,

I am a student working on a holography project at Hartebeesthoek Radio
Astronomy Observatory and I am using the AIPS HOLGR routine. I have
produced an image file and I'm having trouble writing out the data. I can
plot the data using tvall so I know its okay. I have tried to write a fits
file using FITTP, with the following input:
>inp
AIPS 1: FITTP:  Task to write maps or uv data on a FITS-tape.

This is my message log, I ran it twice the first time it created the fits
but could not write any data to it, the second the file already exited so
I think that was a protection error.

Any help would be much appreciated.
