I believe the only such dependencies were introduced by the Aussies in their 
'Parkes multibeam' displaydata, PKSMultiBeamDD.  This class is a moderately 
recent development; I don't even have an example file that I can use to test 
it.  I'm fairly certain noone at NRAO uses it.

PKSMultiBeamDD is using GlishRecords; I don't know why.  To my mind all 
glish-dependent code belongs in the aips++ 'tasking' layer, or the 
equivalent layer for the viewer, the 'GTk' layer (in display/apps/gDisplay).

Several possible solutions come to mind, but I suggest we get input from the 
creators/users of this class first.  My guess is that this should comprise 
the first 'patch' to frozen aips++, moving GlishRecord<->Record translation 
to the GTk layer in aips++, and excising it completely from the main display 
library in the new casa.
