Doesn't KAPPA use the CAT library for some of its commands (the ones that
use FITS binary tables - LISTMAKE and LISTSHOW)? Presumably also POLPACK?
ORACDR uses catselect when fiddling with polarimetry tables. There is a
plan to replace this by a soap-ified Java version based on Mark's TABLE
library but the status of that work is currently undefined.
PS Whilst I'm mentioning KAPPA, didn't KAPHELP used to include sections
such as the change log and "classified commands" in it? It now seems only
to list the task information.
