COMMENT N-inverse covariance matrices for the Res 4 maps.                       
COMMENT This is a 4Nx4N matrix, ordered (I, Q, U, S).                           
COMMENT The third year of data went into the maps.                              
COMMENT A small effect due to transmission imbalance between radiometers        
COMMENT has been projected out of the inverse variances matrices as described   
COMMENT in Jarosik, et.al. (2007)
