[daip] IMAGR "MEMORY FILLED" message

[Hanno Spreeuw]

Hello Eric,

There is something with regard to the capabilities of CALIB that I am 
presently running in to. As far as I can tell from the helpfile, one 
cannot run CALIB on a 2*2D (I,V) or 4*2D (I,Q,U,V) CC model or image 
cube. Perhaps this is just me. But perhaps this can be accomodated for 
at some point in the future.

Cheers,
Hanno.
