            CLIC\COMPRESS timemax uvmax [/TRIANGLE]

        Compress  data  in  the current index by averaging successive records in
        individual  scans.  'timemax'  is  the  maximum  averaging  time in sec-
        onds.  Data with baseline orientation differing by  more 'uvmax'  in me-
        ters  in  the  UV  plane  are  not  averaged,  as well as  data  flagged
        differently.

        Defaults  for timemax and  uvmax  are  60  seconds  and  7.5  meters re-
        spectively.   An  output  file  must  have  been opened to  receive  the
        compressed data.

        Use command COPY rather than COMPRESS to copy the whole current index to
        a new file.

        For data taken after September 1992 (new correlator), the  command  will
        only   compress   the   temporal  data (data header  and  continuum sub-
        bands), since the spectral data is already compressed to  1  record  per
        scan.

        [/TRIANGLE] add triangles to data. Not tested.
