Convert FITS to TXT UILTABLE

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.

The TXT file extension, associated with the X-Motif UIL Table, stands for Text. This format is used to define user interface elements like menus and buttons within the X Window System. Initially developed by The Open Group, the plain text format allows developers to outline the UI components and their configurations. These files are then compiled into a format that can be utilized by the Motif Resource Management functions, streamlining the creation and management of graphical interfaces.
