Raw data to FITS

[Bernd Nies]

Hi,

Is there somewhere a little command line program
that converts an input file with a raw binary data stream 
into FITS format?

I know the 'convert' program from ImageMagick but this
does only convert 8 bit grayscale or 3x8 bit RGB files.


Input file description:

Simple uncompressed binary data stream from a CCD.
pixel organization on CCD:
	,----------,
	| yz012345 |
	| qrstuvwx |
	| ijklmnop |
	| abcdefgh |
	'----------'

and written into raw data file:
,----------------------------------,
| abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345 |
'----------------------------------'

one pixel data: 
- 16 bit (or less)
  unsigned short Intel (little endian)
  or Motorola (big endian) syntax.


The program should run under Linux.

Does someone already know a little program that
does this job? If not I would write a Perl script
for this.


Regards,

Bernd
