                      Delta alpha is in seconds of time.
                      For type 3 obsrvations the position angle, P,
                      is in degrees measured eastwards from north.
                      The separation, S, is in secons of arc.
                      Both  P and S are given to 3 decimal places.
          evaluation: Residuals are given for X, Y in seconds of arc.
                      For absolute and differetial coordinates
                      and for position angle the residual
                      is converted to residual in X, Y.
                      The value 0.0 may be given if the residual
                      were not computed. Any residual greater than
                      2.0 seconds of arc is given as 99.9 .
