[daip] FARS issue

Eric - I just tried to use FARS in a different way than before, 
specifically doing 1 clean component, 99% gain,  and asking for output 
of residuals.  The amplitude and phase of residuals was pm 1e30.  I 
attach the headers for the input files for DOFARS, the headers of output 
maps,  the inputs to FARS used by DOFARS and the prtmsg.  I'm going to 
try changing one param at a time and do a little diagnosis.  note the 
additional little problem of not finding the file at end to TRANS the 
output.

Happy New year!  lr
