VLANT looks at all changes to antenna locations entered due to baseline 
runs that FOLLOW the observing run.  If they affect antennas at stations 
that you used, they are assumed to be improvements on those station 
locations from the values used during your run and entries are made in 
the CL and AN tables accordingly.  It is correct that a baseline change 
AFTER you observed should be applied to your data.
