========

`fits2hdf` is a conversion to utility to port FITS files to Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5)
files in the HDFITS format. In addition, there is a utility to port MeasurementSets (MS)
to HDF5 files. A more complete overview is given in the [fits2hdf Astronomy & Computing paper](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213133715000554).
