*qpphase* - Append phase to events in QPOE file

This task computes the phases of individual QPOE events for an assumed period P and rate of change of period Pdot according to the formula


PHI(t) = mod[t/P - 0.5 * Pdot * (t**2/P**2), 1.0].


The phases are appended to the individual event records by defining a new event structure for the output QPOE file.


input files: rp90_out.qp

output files: rp90_ph.qp

  rp90_out.qp (; no exp.; period=100.140000; pdot=0.000000) -> rp90_ph.qp
  Creating QPOE output file: rp90_ph.qp
Note, the phases are only valid for the period and Pdot chosen.
