After running CLCOR, the coordinates in the header match those of the source I've tried to shift so it would appear as if the corrections I entered are correct. However, when I apply the CL table in VPLOT and POSSM, the data look visibly worse. I then inverted the CL table with CLINV and everything then looks as I would expect i.e. the large delay in POSSM and the phase wrapping in VPLOT have both disappeared.

GMRT persists in using an opposite phase convention and we keep
forgetting that. I have added IF (GMRT) statements several places in
the CLCOR where delays are computed.
