COMMENTS        : problems with acquisition:
                       - posmv was flaky;
                       - choices of heading kept switching: gyro, posmv
                       - data were averaged with 1200s ensembles.
                  had to redo processing from ens files; apply
                  posmv correction manually.  data coverage to about 800m 
                  for most of the cruise TIME STAMP PROBLEMS!!

Heading corrections for these cruises were created during post-processing from
(1) synchro gyro feed to deck unit;
    extracted gyro headings from ENS files
(2) N2R file ascii messages with POSMV headings
