The OFM files had not been updated to go with the changes in the TV done 
during 2008.  I have since done this.  (Note that the plot tasks can use 
OFM files but are equipped to handle any size of file.)  OFMGET was the 
manin failure - but new files have been generated and the code revised 
to handle things better.  A MNJ on either 31DEC09 or 31DEC08 will update 
your aips to the new and improved files.

Cheers,
