I take no responsibility for software written by others that do not
consult and make agreements with me. I will change things like this as
I see fit in consideration of the best for aips general users.
In particular, the names had much too much conflict so I broadened the
name space to avoid nasty things like print files appended to FITS files
and so forth.
FITLD did not change one iota with this change - only the help file.
The 48-character limit has been and is still present.
