[APBeta] Warning: 2.0b89

[Tony Barry]

Hello Paul and Sander,

I have written an app (in Real Basic no less) to do two point aligns  
(given a reference image, and image to be aligned, the user supplies  
two points on each, and the aligned image is moved, rotated and if  
desired scaled to achieve congruency).

Now if a kind soul can tell me where to go to get the FITS info that  
AP uses to align ...

Many thanks thus far!

Regards,
Tony Barry
