It looks like PyFits is platform-independent.

Perhaps the original poster is referring to the tar file, which isn't
natively supported by Windows and possibly isn't understood by WinZip
either (not sure about that one).  I recommend downloading and
installing 7-Zip, which is free and handles more formats.  It will let
you extract the contents, which you can then install normally with the
setup script as shown above.

Yes, I keep getting to a tar file with Google and just going to the STSci site. I use IZarc. Maybe it handles tar files. I'll give it a try.
