TRANSFORM FFT

        [CALIBRATE\]TRANSFORM FFT  FileIn FileOut [Nchan]

    Compute the Fourier Transform of FileIn along the Frequency/Velocity ax-
    is.  The direction of the Fourier Transform depends  on  the  nature  of
    FileIn.

    If  FileIn  is  a standard Data Cube, a direct Fourier transform is per-
    formed, that leads to 4-D cube  as  FileOut,  in  order  (position,posi-
    tion,complex,velocity).  Its 3rd axis has 2 pixels that contain the Real
    and Imaginary parts.  The number of channels is extended to the  nearest
    integer of the form 2^n 3^p 5^q where p and q are less or equal to 2.

    Conversely,  if  FileIn is such a 4-D cube, an inverse Fourier transform
    is performed, leading to a (position,position,velocity) cube as FileOut.
    Optionally, Nchan can specify how many channels are actually retained in
    this case.
