Date Error

["Creager, Robert S" <CreagRS@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM>]

Well, nothing came out of my query, so I'll drop adding the DATE keyword,
and allow it to be modified from the parameters files.  If/when a new
version of Borland CFITSIO is released, I'll re-evaluate (or someone comes
up with an explanation/fix)...
