        The version adverb has crap in it.  Type version=''

 > Type:  Task
 > Use:   To copy a UV data base from an Export or FITS tape to a
 >        catalogued file.  Export tapes are likely to be left within the
 >        data file unless DOCONCAT is true and BCOUNT + NCOUNT encompasses
 >        the last source in the file.  In that case and the case of FITS
 >        format, the tape is left following the End-of-File mark of the
 >        specified file.
 > Adverbs:
 >   DOALL......> 0 => load all sources matching adverbs OBJECT, QUAL, and
 >                     BAND in the tape file.
 >              < 0 => load only first match.  (Not for FITS)
 >   OBJECT.....The source name.  Blank => any name ok.  Standard
 >              "wild-card" conventions are supported.
 >   QUAL.......The source name qualifier.  -1 => all quals
 >   BAND.......Frequency band.  blank => any.  Not used for FITS
 >   BCOUNT.....Load sources beginning with sequence number BCOUNT (see
 >              PRTTP listing of tape).
 >   NCOUNT.....Check and perhaps load only NCOUNT consecutive sources from
 >              the tape.
