A special session was held on FITS WCS [World Coordinate System]
issues yesterday at the ADASS-92 meeting in Boston. The session was
well attended, and it was clear that there is considerable interest in
defining and implementing interoperable WCS implementations.  Bob
Hanisch distributed copies of a paper which he and I prepared in
February 1988. This paper documented the conclusions reached during a
WCS workshop held in Charlottesville in January 1988; it should be the
starting point for a new round of discussions of WCS issues. Anyone
who was not in the WCS session yesterday and who wants a copy of the
paper will find it in the anonymous-FTP server fits.cv.nrao.edu
