Subject: smalod (for uvwide)


Following the discussion with Bob, we decided to disbale
the removal function in the sma pipeline program - smalod.

The updated test version (version 3.0beta 12-sep-08) has been installed
under rg's miriad for testing. The source code can be obtained from
http://smadata.cfa.harvard.edu/miriadWWW/smaspec/smatest/smalod_wband/smalod.for

Usage:
smalod in=$smadata out=$miriaduv rxif=0 \
       sideband=2 rsnchan=128 nscans=1, options=uvwide

The output "wideband" data should be identical with
the product from the Miriad uvwide program with the default
setup.
