It looks like PyFits downloads are for Linux. Isn't there anything

According to http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyfits:
"PyFITS’s source code is pure Python. It requires Python version 2.3
or newer. PyFITS also requires the numarray module. PyFITS uses
python’s distutils for its installation. To install it, unpack the tar
file and type: python setup.py install"
It looks like PyFits is platform-independent.
Greetings,
That link gives me a Resource Not Found!, but does have info about
STSci. I think this gets me back to their page with a tar file. I see
tar comes up below, so I'll appear down there.
I downloaded the tar file, and untarred it with IZarc. That's a strange way
to package it, that is, for Windows. This almost suggests not many Win users
are using it.
One of the pages, <http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/Tutorial>,
has a lot of tutorial material. It almost looks like overload on the
subject. I'm hoping the use of this library will be relative simple for my
purposes, which are basically to write an image to a fits file with a
somewhat simple header, which might include lat/long, date, image size,
date-time, and a comment.
