Thanks for the info - VSCDFT allowed the Z term on SMODEL while VISDFT
and VSFDFT set Z=0. The Q routines below of course handled W*Z in
order to handle the 3D imaging. I have corrected AIPS since I think
with a single SMODEL comp the user want the phase correction to be
complete, while in 2D imaging the CCs really should not have a Z*W
term.
Hope things are okay with you
Eric
