What does IMPARS: BAD NUMBER ON ITYPE mean when given by FITLD.
I'm reading a FITS file written yesterday on a 31DEC12 AIPS on my Mac
laptop. I'm reading on my recently updated 31DEC13 AIPS on the Mac
desktop where I'm doing most of my work. The message shows up for most or
all of the roughly 20 images I loaded.
I have not yet spotted any problem with the files that are read.
