def task_caltabconvert.caltabconvert	(		caltabold = None,
			vis = None,
			ptype = None,
			caltabnew = None
	)

This task converts old-style caltables into new-style 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.

Arguments:

caltabold -- Name of the old-style caltable
        default: none
        example: caltabold='gronk.g0'

vis -- Name of the visibility file (MS) associated with the old-style caltable
        default: none
        example: vis='blurp.ms'

ptype -- Type of data in the new-format caltable
        default: "complex"; allowed values: "complex" or "float"
        example: ptype="complex"

        NB: The old-style caltables do not have this information, so it is
        imperative that users get it correct.  "complex" refers to caltables
        that have complex gains (e.g., produced by gaincal, bpcal, etc.).
        "float" referes to caltables that real numbers such as delays (e.g.,
        produced by gencal).

caltabnew -- Name of the new-style caltable.
        default: "" --> the suffix ".new" is appended to the name of the old-style caltable
        example: caltabold='gronk_new.g0'
