Colleagues
 The COsmic Background Explorer project at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
would like to distribute released data in FITS format from the National
Space Science Data Center.

 Would our esteemed colleagues prefer to receive the data in BINTABLES or
IMAGE format ?

 We have determined that IMAGE extensions are more effective than BINTABLES
in terms of file size and data access time for our internal use.

 Thank-you for your replies in advance,

 Dr. Immanuel Freedman
