	Hello,

	I have some astronomical images in FITS format. I obtained
	a program called "fitstopgm" from the ftp site fits.cx.nrao.edu;
	this program worked for some of the images but did not for many
	other (even thougt they are all FITS files). The error messages
	I get are some thing like "I cannot read header" or "...number
	of axis does not match...", if any body have a solution to my
	problem I would appreciate any comments. I would also like
	to know if there is somewhere a program that read "all kind"
	of FITS files and converts them to other easy to manipulate
	formats.


	thanks a million
