Frank, I believe FITS is an acronym for "Field Information Tracking System" but I clearly could be wrong. Maybe John Eells, or Lynn Wheeler would know for sure.

Well, yes and no. I am simply curious as to what the acronym FITS in this context actually stands for. Or is it just a random set of four letters someone decided to give as the name for the system? Although I think you did answer the underlying "question", which is the fact that FITS is, apparently, an "IBM requirements entry system" or some such thing. So rather than being a type of requirement, which is what I had though, it is the system in which the requirement is entered. Thanks!
