; NAME: 
;	FXREAD
; Purpose     : 
;	Read basic FITS files.
; Explanation : 
;	Read an image array from a disk FITS file.  Optionally allows the
;	user to read in only a subarray and/or every Nth pixel.
; Use         : 
;	FXREAD, FILENAME, DATA  [, HEADER  [, I1, I2  [, J1, J2 ]]  [, STEP]]
; Inputs      : 
;	FILENAME = String containing the name of the file to be read.
; Opt. Inputs : 
;	I1,I2	 = Data range to read in the first dimension.  If passed, then
;		   HEADER must also be passed.  If not passed, or set to -1,-1,
;		   then the entire range is read.
;	J1,J2	 = Data range to read in the second dimension.  If passed, then
;		   HEADER and I1,J2 must also be passed.  If not passed, or set
;		   to -1,-1, then the entire range is read.
;	STEP	 = Step size to use in reading the data.  If passed, then
;		   HEADER must also be passed.  Default value is 1.  Ignored if
;		   less than 1.
; Outputs     : 
;	DATA	 = Data array to be read from the file.
; Opt. Outputs: 
;	HEADER	 = String array containing the header for the FITS file.
; Keywords    : 
;       /COMPRESS - If this keyword is set and non-zero, then then treat
;                the file as gzip compressed.    By default FXREAD assumes
;                the file is gzip compressed if it ends in ".gz"
;	NANVALUE = Value signalling data dropout.  All points corresponding to
;		   IEEE NaN (not-a-number) are set to this value.  Ignored
;		   unless DATA is of type float or double-precision.
;       EXTENSION = FITS extension.  It can be a scalar integer,
;                indicating the extension number (extension number 0
;                is the primary HDU).  It can also be a scalar string,
;                indicating the extension name (EXTNAME keyword).
;                Default: 0 (primary HDU)
;	PROMPT	 = If set, then the optional parameters are prompted for at the
;		   keyboard.
;	AVERAGE	 = If set, then the array size is reduced by averaging pixels
;		   together rather than by subselecting pixels.  Ignored unless
;		   STEP is nontrivial.  Note:  this is much slower.
;	YSTEP	 = If passed, then STEP is the step size in the 1st dimension,
;		   and YSTEP is the step size in the 2nd dimension.  Otherwise,
;		   STEP applies to both directions.
;	NOSCALE	 = If set, then the output data will not be scaled using the
;		   optional BSCALE and BZERO keywords in the FITS header.
;		   Default is to scale, if and only if BSCALE and BZERO are
;		   present and nontrivial.
;	NOUPDATE = If set, then the optional BSCALE and BZERO keywords in the
;		   optional HEADER array will not be changed.  The default is
;		   to reset these keywords to BSCALE=1, BZERO=0.  Ignored if
;		   NOSCALE is set.
;	ERRMSG   = If defined and passed, then any error messages will be
;		   returned to the user in this parameter rather than
;		   depending on the MESSAGE routine in IDL.  If no errors are
;		   encountered, then a null string is returned.  In order to
;		   use this feature, ERRMSG must be defined first, e.g.
;
;			ERRMSG = ''
;			FXREAD, ERRMSG=ERRMSG, ...
;			IF ERRMSG NE '' THEN ...
;       NODATA   = If set, then the array is not read in, but the
;                  primary header is read.
;
; Calls       : 
;	GET_DATE, IEEE_TO_HOST, FXADDPAR, FXHREAD, FXPAR, WHERENAN
; Common      : 
;	None.
; Restrictions: 
;	Groups are not supported.
;
;	The optional parameters I1, I2, and STEP only work with one or
;	two-dimensional arrays.  J1 and J2 only work with two-dimensional
;	arrays.
;
;	Use of the AVERAGE keyword is not compatible with arrays with missing
;	pixels.
;
; Side effects: 
;	If the keywords BSCALE and BZERO are present in the FITS header, and
;	have non-trivial values, then the returned array DATA is formed by the
;	equation
;
;			DATA = BSCALE*original + BZERO
;
;	However, this behavior can overridden by using the /NOSCALE keyword.
;
;	If the data is scaled, then the optional HEADER array is changed so
;	that BSCALE=1 and BZERO=0.  This is so that these scaling parameters
;	are not applied to the data a second time by another routine.  Also,
;	history records are added storing the original values of these
;	constants.  Note that only the returned array is modified--the header
;	in the FITS file itself is untouched.
;
;	If the /NOUPDATE keyword is set, however, then the BSCALE and BZERO
;	keywords are not changed.  It is then the user's responsibility to
;	ensure that these parameters are not reapplied to the data.  In
;	particular, these keywords should not be present in any header when
;	writing another FITS file, unless the user wants their values to be
;	applied when the file is read back in.  Otherwise, FITS readers will
;	read in the wrong values for the data array.

; Prev. Hist. : 
;	W. Thompson, May 1992, based in part on READFITS by W. Landsman, and
;			       STSUB by M. Greason and K. Venkatakrishna.
;	W. Thompson, Jun 1992, added code to interpret BSCALE and BZERO
;			       records, and added NOSCALE and NOUPDATE
;			       keywords.
;	W. Thompson, Aug 1992, changed to call FXHREAD, and to add history
;			       records for BZERO, BSCALE.

;		machines.

;		Added ERRMSG keyword.
;       Version 4, William Thompson, GSFC, 23 June 1994

;               extensions than the primary one.
