I believe that you can still install 31DEC14.  The format change that 
took place in 31DEC15 was to change the random parameter BASELINE into 
ANTENNA1, ANTENNA2, and SUBARRAY.  Versions older than 31DEC15 would 
then have trouble reading a data set from the 31DEC15.  But 31DEC14 
should have no problem with 31DEC13.  The error message you include 
above suggests that you did not give this program a UV data set (there 
are too many -1's - 31DEC13 should show only one of them for BASELINE 
missing).  Note that you can install 31DEC14 without giving up your copy 
of 31DEC15 although that may be confusing.

I think you should chastise NCRA for not upgrading to 31DEC16 - there 
are lots of goodies to be found in that upgrade.

Send me the IMHEADER from the file that is failing.
