.SH NAME
ConvertType \- convert known data types to each other
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B astconvertt
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR...] \fI\,InputFile1 \/\fR[\fI\,InputFile2\/\fR] ... [\fI\,InputFile4\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
ConvertType is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.2.33\-8a3b.
ConvertType will convert any of the known input formats to any other of the
known formats. The output file will have the same number of pixels.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. They will
respectively show you the `Invoking ConvertType' subsection, the complete
`ConvertType' section, or the full GNU Astronomy Utilities manual. In
particular the first contains a very complete explanation of each option.
