- Read drms_fits.c to see how to pass parameters to/from cfitsio. A great portion drms_fits.c maybe no longer needed, so we will try to call cfitsio.c directly drms_segment.c.
- Met with Art to for cvs checkin location. Art will create the make file for cfitsio for different types of builds.
- Note: The C library from HEASARC called "fitsio", cfitsio is our wrapper.
- We decide to remove a small header at the beginning of the data block, containing the basic info (naxis, naxes, bitpix,...) These info will be made available by caller function.
- Try to combine writing and compressing to file into one step for efficiency
