[evla-sw-discuss] C119420

[Pat Van Buskirk]

Tom's report of an obs2script problem is documented below. We later 
found out we needed to run with a -b option. Can someone please tell us 
under what circumstances we need to use this option and if there are 
other options we should know about.

Thanks for the help,
Pat

Nature gave us two ends: one to sit on and one to think with.  Ever 
since then, man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he 
used most.
