  15. I left out one sentence in my prior posting regarding the problem of
  16. widespread use of unsigned integers in otherwise standard FITS format
  17. images.  Wht was supposed to go before the last sentence of the second
  18. paragraph was that we need a FITS standard keyword or a special BITPIX
  19. value of -16 to indicate unsigned pixel data.  THAT's what I was mentioning
  20. should be discussed at the next FITS meeting.
