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.
