As I mentioned in Socorro, I am no longer able to get the task CPASS to
work.

I have now tested it on two different data sets, one VLA (using a point
model), and one VLBA (using autocorrelation data).  In both cases I get
similar error messages (see example below).  The task then claims to end
successfully, but no BP table is written. I have tweaked various inputs,
but the behavior is always the same. Below I have appended my inputs and
message file from the VLBA test.

I note that the following changes to the task have appeared since I
last ran it successfully:

addition of CMETHOD
addition of BLVER
addition of DOBAND
OUTVERS replaced BPVER
