Compression

Proposals for ways to include compressed data in FITS files are still under development. A preliminary proposal by Warnock et al. (1990) is available from the NRAO ftp directories described in section 6.2. However, there are some compression-related questions this proposal does not address. Other installations are experimenting with local schemes.
