{I believe that CLCOR corrections to the SU table for opcode ANTP are
 not correctly implemented.
  
 Example:  Original coordinates:  05 35 14.5098  -5 22 30.482
           CLCORPRM    0  0  0  0  +0.0231  +0.017
           New SU table entry:    05 35 14.4953  -5 22 30.426
  
 I admit that there is something here I do not understand...I have
 used TABGET to read the real*8 entries in the SU table (cols. 11 & 12)
 and I do not obtain the coordinates listed by LISTR in hhmmss or dddmmss
 format.
  
 However, I am sure that the CLCORPRM entries do not add up to the values
 placed in the SU table.  I note that the CLCORPRM entries I have specified
 are angular offsets on the sky, in arcsec.  The expected new coordinates
 should be   05 35 24.14.5110  -5 22 30.4650  where I have accounted for
 precession and nutation in the J2000 frame.  At minimum, the sign of the
 change in RA is wrong.
