<shortdescription>Convert old-style caltables into new-style caltables.</shortdescription>
This task converts old-style (up to CASA 3.3.0) caltables into new-style
(CASA 3.4.0 and later) caltables. It is provided as a convenience and
is strictly temporary. The information transferred should be enough

bpcal, etc.). "float" refers to caltables that
