Task:

KNTR

Summary:

KNTR needed more coordinate manipulation to handle plotting of polarization vectors when LTYPE=4 through 7.

Files:

/31DEC02/Y/PGM/KNTR.FOR

Fix:

1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($YPGM) on your system.
2. COMLNK $YPGM/KNTR

Task:

FITLD

Summary:

FITLD interpreted the adverbs for the first data file. If later data files have a different number of IFs, errors would occur. It was fixed to interpret the users' adverbs at each file.

Files:

/31DEC02/APL/PGM/NOTST/FITLD.FOR

Fix:

1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($APGNOT on your system.
2. COMLNK $APGNOT/FITLD

Documentor:

Date:

Task:

IRING

Summary: The coordinates of the center were miscomputed by one in each axis.

Files:

/31DEC02/Y/PGM/NOTST/IRING.FOR

Fix:

1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($YPGNOT on your system.
2. COMLNK $YPGNOT/IRING

Task:

LWPLA

Summary:

LWPLA ignored ASPMM for the new plot types assigned to GREYS, KNTR, and PCNTR. It also asserted that multi-page PostScript files are encapsulated, which by definition they are not.

Files:

/31DEC02/APL/DEV/ZLWIO.FOR

/31DEC02/Y/PGM/LWPLA.FOR

Fix:

1. Fetch the files listed above and place them in the corresponding areas ($APLGEN, $YPGM, resp.) on your system.
2. COMRPL $APLGEN/ZLWIO
3. COMLNK $YPGM/LWPLA

Task:

FILLM, PRTTP

Summary:FILLM and PRTTP had an error in reading VLA archive data from disk. The first (and in this case only )physical record in a logical record could contain fewer than 13 2048-byte records. A correction for this was not applied, although the case where later physical records in the logical record were "short" was handled. On 2003-08-05 an additional correction to FILLM was added to deal with the last record being short.

Files:

/31DEC02/APL/PGM/PRTTP.FOR

/31DEC02/APL/PGM/NOTST/FILLM.FOR

Fix:

1. Fetch the files listed above and place then in the corresponding area ($APLPGM and $APGNOT, respectively) on your system.
2. COMLNK $APLPGM/PRTTP $APGNOT/FILLM

Task:

INDXR

Summary:INDXR had an error that caused it to ignore the IM and MC tables for VLBI data when there was one subarray or mixed subarrays. It also failed to fill VLA gains in the CL table when the user specified the opacity or requested no opacity correction.

Files:

/31DEC02/APL/PGM/OOP/INDXR.FOR

Fix:

1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the corresponding area ($APGOOP) on your system.
2. COMLNK $APGOOP/INDXR
