-DVO has undergone at least two bit-incompatible versions of the data
-structures to date: the 'loneos' version and the 'elixir' version.  
-
-the 'loneos' version was used for the loneos database currently still
-in my dataspace.
-
-the 'elixir' version, which extended some of the structures and added
-the Secfilt concept, was added at CFHT and is used for all of the
-existing CFHT elixir databases.
-
-For DVO-2 development, I will need to make a few modifications to
-those tables.  It will be useful to allow versions of DVO which
-interact with these different versions correctly.  At one level, this
-simply means changing the structures in the included file.  More
-difficult is that certain functions use elements of the structures
-from one version which are not available in the other versions.  
-
-I am going to explore this process briefly to get DVO-2 started,
-particularly so I can solve the astrometric problems which are
-currently limited by the use of floats to represent RA & DEC.  
-
-I am going to make the selection of the structures depend on #define
-values in the header files.  Currently, everybody which works with the
-dvo files includes loneos.h.  This should be broken out to a loneos.h,
-elixir.h, panstarrs.h, etc, all independently included from within
-dvo.h, which will be the include file called within the user-level
-programs.

-------
-
-the DVO structure Catalog contains the data from a single sky patch, including:
-    average, measure, missing, and secfilt.  
-
-the catalog may be saved in one of 4 modes (catalog.catmode):
-    raw   : the old Elixir style which is a header + 4 binary tables
-    mef   : catalog is a single file with header and 4 fits tables
-    split : catalog is 5 files, one with the header and one for each table
-    mysql : catalog is 4 (or 5?) mysql tables
-
-    in split mode, the filename is the file of the descriptive header
-    and the averages, the measure, missing, and secfilt data are
-    stored in additional files referenced in the header and named
-    based on the filename (replacing extension .cpa with .cpb, .cpc,
-    .cpd, for example)
