I have made these corrections and have also added the DATE-AVG
keyword.  As Stve points out the table form that one would usually
adopt id DATAna which is a bit unfortunate.  Does it actually conflict
with anything however?  The new papers are found from my main page

http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~egreisen/

with links part of the way done below the license plate pix.  The
actual documents are
