The dksraw tool does NOT fully implement to promised features, but it can convert RAW to common computer graphics formats supported by imageio, e.g. PNG.
I put off the conversion to FITS file format, despite it being trivial to implement, because I wanted a self-consistent metadata solution for graphics formats and FITS but was having problems handling graphics image metadata using imageio.
In hindsight a working FITS conversion with imperfect metadata is better than no FITS conversion capability at all.
