+WCSsubs Subroutines
+
+These subroutines, developed as part of the WCSTools software package,
+constitute a self-contained package for accessing the world coordinate
+systems of FITS or IRAF(.imh) images, with image header I/O contained
+in fitsfile.c and imhfile.c, and WCS initialization and use through the
+subroutines in wcs.c. WCS information for an image is kept in a single
+data structure defined in wcs.h. Pixel to WCS translations are done by
+calls to pix2wcst() or pix2wcs(). WCS to pixel translations are done
+by calls to wcs2pix() or wcsc2pix(). The contents of the files are
+briefly described in Files. Dependencies between these files are given
+in Makefile. Documentation, to some extent, is online at
+
+http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/software/wcstools/libwcs.wcs.html
