rand2kerns - Convert solved polynomials from Themis solution to Naif kernels(ck & spk)
This program reads the polynomials solved for Themis from a Rand formatted
ascii table file, and new c-kernels and sp-kernels are created for each input
cube.  The c-kernel created is a Type 3 and the sp-kernel is a Type 8.
Instance for both the ck and spk are calculated every 2 seconds starting at
the beginning time of the image minus some padding.

The default reference frame for the c-kernel is MARSIAU and for the sp-kernel
J2000.

After kernels are created, they should be documented by running the
NAIF prorgram commnt.  An ASCII comment file will need to be supplied
to the commnt program.  For an example of the comments see

        /home/dcook/isis/apps/gen/sample_ck_comments.sav

To run commnt type

        /usgs/naif/ctools/exe/commnt

and follow the prompts.

ParmDescription
RANDFROM
This file is a RAND (Mert Davies), ascii geometry
table file.

REFFRAM
This is the NAIF code for the inertial frame of the
data.  Typical values are J2000 or B1950.
