[daip] caldir/calrd

[Lorant Sjouwerman]

I just made a procedure that recognizes 1331+305 etc as 3c286 etc
which is needed to load the proper model for calibration. And as
there is no outname associated with calrd, one needs to know that
1331+305 (or 1348+307, or J1331+3030) is actually 3c286 and that
in2name for calib then needs 3c286 as name, even if calsour is
1331+305. (hope this made sense)

I now work around it, but it is very easy for the non- expert to 
oversee this. It would be nice for them to make it easy by just 
making links in TEXT/STARS 1331+305->3C286 etc
I just tested this, the 1331+305 shows up in caldir and with 
object=1331+305 I get the model as 1331+305 in my aips directory
so if 1331 is in my SU table I don't need to know it is 3c286

So I suggest to link all SETJY names of the calibrators to 3C-names
in TEXT/STARS, also when new models appear. Can the MNJ make links?
