converts a sequence of ascii numbers to a FITS image file. The data file should consist of a sequence of one number per line, in order so that the columns increase fastest. The number of columns in the image file must be specified on the command line using the ncol= option. The number of rows in the image is determined by the length of the file. The filename "-" may be used to denote input from the standard input.
The image file is written into the file `makeim.fts' unless overridden by the outfile option.
The data may be scaled by the floating point number specified by the scale= option. The input is converted to floating point, multiplied by the scale factor (default 1.0) before being converted to a 16 bit integer. Warning messages will be issued to stdout if data overflow (>32767) or undeflow (<32767) occurs.
