HELP SECTION

MATCH
Task:  This task will make the antenna, source, and FQ numbers of the
       input data set match those of a master data set.  The two data
       sets must be very similar or this will not work.  A need for
       this can arise from various VLBA correlators that correlate
       only a portion of the data at any one pass or output tape file
       and number the antennas, sources, and FQs independently in each
       pass.

       The output AN file(s) will contain all antennas from both input
       files (of matching subarray number) suitably renumbered.  FQ
       and SU tables are handled similarly.

       If the random parameters differ, the task will attempt to
       order the first file's random parameters in the order of the
       Master file.
Adverbs:
  INNAME.....Input UV file name (name).      Standard defaults.
  INCLASS....Input UV file name (class).     Standard defaults.
  INSEQ......Input UV file name (seq. #).    0 => highest.
  INDISK.....Disk drive # of input UV file.  0 => any.
  IN2NAME....Master UV file name.
  IN2CLASS...Master UV file class.
  IN2SEQ.....Master UV file sequence number.
  IN2DISK....Master UV file sequence number.
  OUTNAME....Output UV file name (name).     Standard defaults.
  OUTCLASS...Output UV file name (class).    Standard defaults.
  OUTSEQ.....Output UV file name (seq. #).   0 => highest unique
  OUTDISK....Disk drive # of output UV file. 0 => highest with
             space for the file.
  DOALL......Binary flags: value 1 => do antennas, 2 => do sources,
             4 => do frequencies.  So 7 => do all 3.  <= 0 => 7.
             For VBGLU usage, the files can have only one FREQID and
             must differ in frequency, so set DOALL=3.
