    "Example: 92ae. The brightest B point occured on date 8807.82, and
    the brightest V point on 8805.83. These were both considered to occur
    at date 0 when the joint fit was done, and so the V maximum was
    computed incorrectly."

    Maybe I misunderstand you, but I don't think that's quite right. snminuit
    of its day gave the first lightcurve priority and treated the 2nd as 2nd.
    (Most of the I data were crappy, hence the rationale). Of course, you
    could tell the code about them in either order; it was color blind.

    But then for a *dual* fit, the time came from the first in line, and the
    2nd used it. The code understood only that there were a few more
    parameters, and treated t0 and s as common to both curves.
