Problem solved sort of

obit is causing the permissions problem which I got around by copying 
your data with cp.  AIPS forces -rw-rw-r-- on eveything I guess obit 
does not.

FRING needs to be guided about the integration time (DPARM(4)).  The 
data out of obit must interpret the times correctly rather than doing 
something to regularize them - which I suspect casa is doing.  So FRING 
found an integration time of a very small fraction of a second and so 
wanted millions of times in your 1 minute of data.

I will update the CookBook chapter on this.

BTW - I have a spare page for a picture in that chapter.  Do you know of 
any cool EVLA ones?
