caltabconvert – Convert old-style caltables into new-style caltables. – utility task

Description

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 for most calibration purposes. BPOLY and GSPLINE versions are not supported. Only simple bugs will be fixed. If there are other issues, it is suggested that a new-style caltable be created directly.
