I thought about that and came to conclussion that it should be done outside
of the DELZN using SNEDT for example.
Let me think about that more.

It is in DELZN already if there is more than one reference antenna.
The plots for reference antenna are created only if one reference antenna
is used for all data.

I agree. I'll remove this option.

There is some logic relation of OUTFILE and CL table in DELZN.
I'll change this

Do you mean to add ADVERB CALSOUR for any CLCOR's option or only ATMO?
