[daip] points plotted by SNPLT

DearAIP,

I've had an observing run of 8 hours, and made a CL-table with an interval
of 3 seconds. 

In SNPLT, only just over 3 hours, 3615 points per antenna/IF/Pol, are
plotted on the TV, which caused a fringe on my scalp. 

The CL-data is there as seen with LISTR, PRTAB and also seen with XINC>>1
in SNPLT, so apparently there is a maximum number (=3615) it can plot.

Regardless whether it is useful to look at more than 3615 points per
baseline (I think it is in some cases), shouldn't it produce a warning if
the points asked to be plotted exceed 3615 - as it does when points fall
outside the specified PIXRANGE - and suggest to specify XINC or TIMERANGE?

And does this 3615 need an update (to eg 14400, which is 12 hours of 3
seconds)?

Anyway,

Regards,
