[daip] VLBAPCOR

[Jim Ulvestad]

Hi Amy (et al.)

I tried running the new VLBAPCOR on a scan that was missing
PC information for antenna 10 (Saint Croix).  It had worked
fine on a scan that had all the antenas, but the FRING failed
when I tried running on the scan that was missing some PC
information.  I can confirm that antenna 10 was there and
showed good fringes in POSSM.  Here are my inputs:

I looked at the inputs remaining in FRING, and it says
GAINUSE=5.  However, CL #5 is the output of the PCCOR and CLCAL
steps that didn't have anything for antenna 10, so there is
no antenna 10 in the CL table.  I think this would have worked
if the FRING had GAINUSE=4, so there's just a slight table-handling
problem.
