[daip] IMERG

I have a GBT map that I've created using SDGRD and would now like to 
combine this with some VLA data. Is IMERG the appropriate task for this 
purpose?

So far, I've been unable to obtain anything useful from IMERG (e.g., I get 
something that looks similar to the original VLA map with some extra 
noise/negative flux in the region of the GBT map). This after regridding 
the GBT map to match the VLA pixel scale, adding the GBT beam size to the 
header, and converting the units to Jy/beam. I have done no corrections to 
the input (deconvolved) VLA map. Am I misunderstanding what the program 
wants in terms of the input maps?

Incidentally, I have noticed a minor bug, in that messages report the 
wrong INNAME for the "HI-RES MAP" (they instead report the INNAME of the 
"LO-RES MAP").

Thanks,
Lynn Matthews
