14217.  August 28, 2013             SPMOD                 Eric
         NEW TASK: This is a version of UVMOD designed to put models in
         a spectral-line data set.  Each component has the usual
         spatial parameters, but also a central channel and channel
         width of the Guassian spectral line.  The RR and LL
         polarizations are allowed to be different and components may
         be positive or negative.
         Moved nowhere.

shouild be available in tomorrow's MNJ.
