Miller,

Your TY table only has zeros in it.  I am not sure why this makes APCAL produce 
an empty SN table instead of dying, I will fix that.  I guess you ask Walter 
about the TY table.

You can probably use the load the Tsys (and gain curve) from the text file 
(using ANTAB) that the hardware correlator produces.  Although I think you will 
probably have to edit our the antennas that are missing.  (Use VLOG to break the 
the file into it's constituents).

Pat,

Check your TY table.  If your data is from the software correlator then tell 
Walter to TY table isn't correct.  If not, get back to me and I will try to 
figure out why your TY table in corrupt.

:)
