To get your data in the ASDM/BDF format initially you must be logged 
into an NRAO-Socorro computer.  Certain management have decreed that 
which I think to be grossly unfair and not in the spirit of the NRAO.
(When I came here outside users were given preference over staff 
members.)  As a result all data go though the CASA ASDM/BDF to 
measurement set translations followed by the ms to uvfits program.
That is described in my Appendix E but leaves you without SY tables.
GC is not really used and NX and CL can be found with INDXR.
