DAOMID/DAOPHOT table 
	convert a DAOPHOT table to a MIDAS table
\us\pu
Purpose:      
	Convert DAOPHOT table of type .coo, .pk, .nst or .als to MIDAS table
\up\sy       
Syntax:       
              DAOMID/DAOP table 
\ys\pa
              table = ASCII input table in DAOPHOT format,
		      with extension .coo, .pk, .nst or .als.
              produces xxxcoo.tbl, xxxpk.tbl, xxxnst.tbl, or xxxals.tbl as
	      Midas output table, respectively
\ap\no 
Note:  
              DAOPHOT uses pixel coordinates, and the INVENTORY and MIDAS uses
              both world and pixel coordinates. Hence, in converting to MIDAS,
              the user can give start and step size values via double keyword
              TRANSF to convert pixel coords from DAOPHOT to world coords
	      (assuming a linear world coord system).

	      If keyword TRANSF does not exist, the pixel coords are kept
	      as pixel coords (frame pixels) and stored in columns labelled
	      :X_COORDPIX, :Y_COORDPIX of Midas table.

	      If keyword TRANSF has been written before, e.g. via 
                 WRITE/KEY TRANSF/D/1/4 3.0,4.0,1.0,1.0
              it is used and world coords are stored in columns labelled
	      :X_COORD, :Y_COORD of Midas table.

Examples:
\ex 
              DAOMID/DAOP qq.coo   
                Read the DAOPHOT table `qq.coo' and create a Midas table
		`qqcoo.tbl', depending upon the existence of keyword TRANSF,
		the pixel coords of DAOPHOT are stored as world coords or
		frame pixels in the Midas table.
