Thanks, we will add them in. Also I checked variables in old file.
Ch2 might be also useful to some users.

send Mel an email about this) because it looked at but didn't use one of the
header variables when the "baseline" option was specified and it was missing
from smalod data. Peter might actually keep records of what is required
information in the miriad files, I'm not sure.
