<shortdescription>Import VLA archive file(s) to a measurement set</shortdescription>
Imports an arbitrary number of VLA archive-format data sets into a
casa measurement set. If more than one band is present, they will be
put in the same measurement set but in a separate spectral window.
The task will handle old style and new style VLA (after July 2007)
archive data and apply the tsys to the data and to the weights.
