PROGRAM
     viff2fits - Converts  VIFF file format to FITS image file
     format

SYNTAX
     viff2fits

     -i             input VIFF data file

     -o             resulting output image (FITS file)

     [-V]           Gives the version for viff2fits

     [-U]           Gives the usage for viff2fits

     [-P]           Prompts for command line options

     [-A [file1]]   Creates the answer file called viff2fits.ans
                    or file1

     [-a [file1]]   Uses viff2fits.ans or file1 as the answer
                    file

DESCRIPTION
     viff2fits is a routine that converts a VIFF image file for-
     mat into a FITS image file format.

     The image type for the FITS image file format  is taken from
     the VIFF image header.

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
     -i     type: infile
            desc: input VIFF data file

     -o     type: outfile
            desc: resulting output image (FITS file)

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
     none

EXAMPLES
           viff2fits -i image.xv -o image.fits

     The file image.xv is the input viff image, and the result is
     image.fits, the same image in FITS file format.

RESTRICTIONS
     The output FITS image should be in IEEE order, but is
     currently written in the native byte order of the machine
     executing the code. This should be fixed... SRW
