DOINVER -1.0 1.0 > 0 => images 3,4 & output 2
are of rms
else they are const/(rms**2)
HELP SECTION
WTSUM
Type: Task
Use: WTSUM does a weighted sum of two or more images, writing out
Out(x,y) = Sum (Wi(x,y) Ii(x,y))
---------------------
Sum (Wi(x,y))
as well as the sum of the weights. Note that the Ii must be
exactly matching image planes or cubes. The weights may be single
planes (matching in x and y but not z) or cubes matching in all 3
axes. NO TESTS ARE PERFORMED TO INSURE THE VALIDITY OF
COORDINATES: use HGEOM, SUBIM, etc. to make sure things line up.
The task sums TWO weighted images when all four names are filled
in. If IN2NAME = ' ', then it sums IN2SEQ-INSEQ+1 images whose
name parameters all match the first except for having consecutive
sequence numvers. In that case, the weight images must all match
the 3rd image name parameters with consecutive sequence numbers
going from IN3SEQ through IN3SEQ+IN2SEQ-INSEQ.
For this to make correct sense, the weight images should all be
the same constant divided by sigma(x,y)**2. If DOINVER is true,
then the "weight" images and output image WWTSUM are handled as
rms images rather than weight images.

OUTNAME.....Output image name (name)
OUTCLASS....Output image name (class) Class WWTSUM is used
for the sum of the weights.
OUTSEQ......Output image name (seq #)

BLC.........BLC of area to be searched, 0 => 1,1
TRC.........TRC of area to be searched, 0 => NCOLS,NROWS
DOINVERS....The correct weights for summing are a constant divided by
the rms squared. If DOINVERS is false (<= 0), input
"weight" images (3 and 4) and output image WWTSUM are
assumed to have this form. If DOINVERS is true (> 0),
they are assumed to be images of the rms.
