// <synopsis> 
//  A MIRIADImage provides native access to MIRIAD images by accessing them
//  with the TiledFileAccess class.  -- or -- the native miriad I/O routines.
//  The MIRIADImage is read only. -- really -- ??
//
// </synopsis> 
 
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    MIRIADImage im("cube1"); 
//    LogIO logger(or);
//    ImageStatistics<Float> stats(im, logger);
//    Bool ok = stats.display();                              // Display statistics
