HELP SECTION

RIFRM
Type: Task
Use:  RIFRM will replace the IFR and dispersive delay values in a CL
      table with values read from an ALBUS text file.  It will also
      create and/or update a TE table if possible.  The AIPS ALBUS
      task performs this operation after running the ALBUS container.
      RIFRM allows you to redo the table adjustments without the
      cost of running ALBUS over again.
Adverbs:
  INNAME......Input name of image(name).     Standard defaults.
  INCLASS.....Input name of image(class).    Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......Input name of image(seq. #).   0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk drive # of image.         0 => any.
  SOURCES.....Source names to handle.  Only sources contained in
              text file will be handled if the text file is of the
              multi-source format.  If it is of a single source
              format (ALBUS DOALL<=0) and ASDMFILE ends in an
              underscore then multiple text files will be read,
              appending the source name to the ASDMFILE value.
  GAINVER.....Input CL table version #.  0 -> highest
  GAINUSE.....Output CL table version #.  0 -> new one
              If GAINUSE > 0, it must be = GAINVER or specify a
              new file.  If GAINUSE=GAINVER and ALBUS is selected
              then the highest numbered TE file will be updated.
              If GAINUSE > GAINVER (after defaults), then a new
              TE file will be created.
  ASDMFILE....Text file name in form ENVNAME:FILENAME where ENVNAME
              if an environment variable pointing at the directory
              containing the file and FILENAME is the file name.
              The name is constructed by appending ASDMF(2) after
              the last non-blank character of ASDMF(1).  Example
              ASDMF(1)='MYALB:05SEP241154/albus_report_parallel
              ASDMF(2)='_RI_G03_Allsource
              Note that both statements have no close quote to
              preserve lower case letters.
              When there are multiple ALBUS report files for
              multiple sources (i.e. when DOALL <= 0 in ALBUS),
              leave off the source name in ASDMFILE so that it
              ends with an underscore character.  Thus
              ASDMF(1)='MYALB:05SEP241154/albus_report_parallel
              ASDMF(2)='_RI_G03_
  ANTENNAS....List desired antennas when VLBA.  The antenna number
              will be appended to the name (_nn) set in ASDMFILE.
