[daip] FARS issue

Perhaps have isolated the problem.

I haven't checked output in detail yet, but looks like the procedure has 
worked with only changing blc,trc before running DOFARS.
in the run that failed, i set blc, trc to 3341 3361; 5421 5601 before 
running DOFARS.  when it actually gets to the FARS stage, DOFARS 
apparently has set the BLC, TRC to 1 0 0, 1 0 0.   the output maps have 
the correct dimensions
301,2081,1941 , but the output is garbage.

if instead i set original blc, trc to 0,0, then when DOFARS gets to the 
FARS stage, it has blc,trc 0,0
