Description of grisms

Both the dispersion relation and the deviation of the spectra from a straight line are parameterized as third order polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials and the orientation of the spectra relative to the direction of the rows in the grism images are specified in file $CALNICC_BASE/calib/grismspec.dat.
