[daip] Compressed continuum data has different weights

I have been comparing the output of FILLM to the aips++ equivalent
vlafiller. I have discovered that, for continuum data, the weights
generated by FILLM depend significantly on whether compressed data is
written. For example with compression I get:
UVPRT1: Task UVPRT (release of 31DEC01) begins
UVPRT1: Finding the scaling parameters to set formats
lucy UVPRT(31DEC01) 24 16-MAR-2001 14:40:25 Page 1
AK456 .L BAND. 1 Vol= 1 User= 24 Channel= 1 IF= 1
Ref freq= 1.464899959 GHz Ncor= 1 No. vis= 655356 Sort order= TB
U, V, W are in Kilo wavelengths at the reference frequency
Weights have been multiplied by 0.0001

0/00:36:55.0 7-21 -2.18 2.11 -3.35 0.002 -21 9.508
0/00:36:55.0 7- 8 -0.60 -1.99 0.87 0.002 -54 10.110
And without compression I get
0/00:36:55.0 7-12 -3.64 3.52 -5.60 0.006 52 7.312
0/00:36:55.0 6- 7 1.57 -1.52 2.41 0.004 131 8.179
0/00:36:55.0 7-21 -2.18 2.11 -3.35 0.002 -21 8.171
0/00:36:55.0 7- 8 -0.60 -1.99 0.87 0.002 -54 9.078
The aips++ vlafiller agrees with the weights in the uncompressed data so
I am hoping this has the correct values.
Cheers
