// <synopsis>
// MeasComet is the interface class between generated Comet position
// tables and the Direction conversion machinery.
// Tables are found using the aipsrc 
// (using <src>measures.<table>.directory</src>)
// mechanism. If not provided they are assumed to reside in standard places
// Tables are assumed to have the
// VS_VERSION, VS_DATE, VS_CREATE, VS_TYPE,
// MJD0 (first MJD in table - 1.0 * dMJD, >= 10000),
// dMJD (increment between successive MJDs, in days, > 0),
// and NAME
// keywords, be gapless (constant dMJD), and be of type IERS,
// or else an exception will be thrown.<br>
// They are also assumed to have the MJD, RA, DEC, Rho, and RadVel columns.
// The DiskLong and DiskLat columns can be used if they are present, but they
// are no longer expected.
// The <src>get()</src> method will obtain data from the cometary
// tables. The data obtained will be in the specified frame.
// Note that the normal usage of these tables is through the Measures system.
// 
// <note>
//	A message is logged (once) if a date outside the range in
//	the Tables is asked for. 
// </note>
// <thrown>
//     <li> AipsError if table opened has wrong format or otherwise corrupted.
