[daip] Task ORFIT in fortran compiled 31DEC10 AIPS version

[Ciriaco Goddi]

Dear Eric,

thanks for your prompt reply. The reason why I wanted to use ORFIT is 
because it is used inside a procedure that allows me to browse across a 
multi-channel image and fit interactively all the components, channel by 
channel, and gives me the fit results in an output file. In principle 
JMFIT might work as well (I will need to update the procedure to define 
JMFIT parameters). What I would like to have is an output file with the 
fit results (as from ORFIT). I tried doing this with JMFIT, as you 
suggested, but aips says that DOCRT=-4 is not supported. I am using the 
31DEC10 version.
