HELP SECTION

DECSHIFT
Type:  Adverb (Real array, 64 elements)
Use:   Specifies a change or shift of the declination (or Y) coordinate
       of an image, one per FIELD.  Specifies a shift Northward (larger
       Y-pixel value) of the map center.
       The actual new center Declination is given by
              Dec(i) = Dec_0 + DECSHIFT(i)
       where Dec_0 is the declination of the reference point.

       If more than 64 fields are needed use BOXFILE to specify the
       shifts or field centers.  DECSHIFT is used only if BOXFILE is
       not.

Null Value:  NONE  ( 0 => no shift)
Tasks:
   BOXES.......Adds Clean boxes to BOXFILE around sources from a list.
   CHKFC.......Makes images of Clean boxes from Boxfile.
   FIXBX.......Converts a BOXFILE to another for input to IMAGR.
   IMAGR.......Wide-field and/or wide-frequency Cleaning / imaging
               task.
   SCIMG.......Full-featured imaging plus self-calibration loop with
               editing.
   UVCON....   Generate sample UV coverage given a user defined array
               layout.
Procedures:
   CXPOLN......Procedure to make complex polarization images and beam.
   LINIMAGE....Build image cube from multi-IF data set.
   TDSTEP3.....Time-dependent imaging procedure "step 3"
   TDSTEP5.....Time-dependent imaging procedure "step 5"
