[daip] data from the Penticton correlator and FITLD

What happens if you run FITLD from "OLD" and tell it to
make the VLBA correlator corrections (DIGICOR AND DELCOR)?
If you do this, and get the same result as from NEW or TST,
then your guess is correct.  If not, it's something else.

It originally took a lot of effort to make FITLD and the
Penticton correlator speak the same language, so I could
see something going wrong in some update of FITLD, even
if it's not a misunderstanding about what correlator the
data are from.
