Create A New FITS File
To create a new FITS file with a primary image array, you need to
specify the following parameters:
-  File name: If a full path is not specified, the file will be
     created in the current directory (as shown in the open file dialog
     box).
-  Data Type: The basic data types are
	  
	    -  Byte      : bitpix =   8
	    
-  Integer   : bitpix =  16
	    
-  Long      : bitpix =  32
	    
-  Float     : bitpix = -32
	    
-  Long Long : bitpix =  64 
	    
-  Double    : bitpix = -64
	  
 The first 3 can be either Signed or Unsigned.  BSCALE and BZERO
     keywords will be created to produce the non-standard Signed Byte
     and Unsigned Integer and Long data types.
-  Dimensions: Provide the size of the array with a comma- or
     space-separated list of its dimensions.  For example, a 3-dimensional
     image could be specified with "10 20 30", producing in image
     with dimensions of 10x20x30.
