[fitsbits] crop FITS images

[Michael Olberg]

Hi,

A student in our department looks for a tool that would allow her to
cut down FITS images to a smaller size and then store the cropped
picture again as a FITS file with updated coordinate information in
the header. I guess AIPS, IRAF, Midas etc. would be able to do this,
but I wondered if anybody knows of smaller, stand-alone programs for
this kind of job. It should run under Linux.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
