The CFITSIO fpack command (http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/fpack)
is a general purpose tool that allows varying many compression options
when creating tile compressed FITS files.  It is anticipated, however,
that the great majority of astronomical usage will involve the Rice
algorithm.  This release of IRAF FITSUTIL is focused on providing
streamlined access to this functionality through the RICEPACK task.
