The MF table does not include a 42nd column and includes X and Y
offset columns.  These are written by well-controlled routines in SAD,
IMFIT, and JMFIT.  The task MFPRT is designed to provide various
glimpses into the excessive MF table.  For some of its outputs it must
convert X offset and Y offset to RA and DEC, for others it converts
column 1 (plane) to velocity.  What PRTAB shows you is what is 
present in the table.  What MFPRT shows is a selected representation
rather than the table contents.
