Converting from UniPOPS SDD data to an AIPS++ table readable by DISH currently requires three steps:

Convert UniPOPS SDD data to UniPOPS FITS binary table.
Use the UniPOPS utility uni2fits to convert the SDD data to FITS binary format. To use the program, you must be logged onto a Sun workstation where UniPOPS has previously been installed and have your path include:
```
export popsdir=~unipops/test/
export PATH=$popsdir/sunbin:$popsdir/utilities:$PATH
```
Convert UniPOPS FITS to standard SDFITS.
Use the AIPS++ utility uni2sdfits to convert the data file. The syntax is:
```
uni2sdfits input=unipops_fits_file output=sdfits_file
```
Convert the SDFITS file to an AIPS++ table. See the next section for the syntax of this step.
