[daip] UVPLT labels don't distinguish between "ante -14, 0" and "ante 14, 0"

Dear DAIP,

   UVPLT (31DEC06 on mithril [laptop] last updated yesterday) labels plots
"ANTE 14-0" whether the plots are "ante 14,0" (all antennas with 14) or
"ante -14,0" (all antennas EXCEPT 14).  It's clearly plotting the right thing, 
so this is just a labelling bug.  I noticed this while comparing EVLA with VLA
antennas, ant. 14 being an EVLA retrofit.  Inputs for the ante -14,0 case 
given below; I can send you the file but doubt that's relevant.  I get similar
results with DOTV 1 and DOTV -1.

   Cheers,

             Michael
