Hi Leonia,

Sorry that my gripe was written too quickly and before I inspected ACCOR
code.  

I suggest that the program permit negative solints but not enforce scan
averaging when this is done.

It will be necessary to address the meaning of solint=-1.  Perhaps scan 
averaging can be commanded instead with solint=0.  What do you think?
solint (cf CALIB).

I very much appreciate your and Jim's careful replies to my questions re
rapidly varying structure in the ACCOR solutions.  Though I see complex
patterns, I believe there is intermittent structure consistent with Jim's
suggestion that I would see a sawtooth pattern.  Since I am observing at 7
mm, atmospheric variability will be superposed on the sawtooth, so it is
only sometimes visible.

Since some deliberation will be necessary on your part to figure out
whether/what changes to make to ACCOR, I will make changes to our local
ACCOR to suit my processing for the moment.


Regards,

Lincoln
