Hi Eric,<br />
<br />
Right, I don’t ultimately need 31DEC17 to read the 31DEC07 data or vice versa. At this point I just can’t get 31DEC07 to both open and access the data that I had previously reduced in that version. I just assume the new installation has something to do with the issue since I didn’t have this problem until I installed it.<br />
<br />
1. The $SYSLOCAL area is in the path and looks correct:<br />
<br />
<br />
[tltobin2@lpv aips07]$ aips tv="local:2"<br />
<br />
-bash: aips: command not found<br />
<br />
[tltobin2@lpv aips07]$ echo $PATH<br />
<br />
.:/data/lpv2/tltobin2/aips07/31DEC07/LINUX/SYSTEM/UIUC:/data/lpv2/tltobin2/aips07/31DEC07/SYSTEM/UNIX:/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/lpv/tltobin2/bin<br />
<br />
[tltobin2@lpv aips07]$ echo $SYSLOCAL<br />
<br />
/data/lpv2/tltobin2/aips07/31DEC07/LINUX/SYSTEM/UIUC<br />
<br />
3. Okay, when I ran it this time, the 31DEC07 did successfully load, but its original data disk was “unavailable” and only the data that was loaded into 31DEC17 was in the catalog. For completeness, here are the relevant parts of the files that I changed as well as the messages when opening AIPS. Also, while this version of AIPS did open, it will not exit.<br />
<br />
Relevant lines in AIPSPATH.SH File:<br />
<br />
# Set the AIPS root directory.<br />
<br />

<br />
OLD=/data/lpv2/tltobin2/aips07/31DEC07<br />
<br />
NEW=$AIPS_ROOT/31DEC16<br />
<br />
Relevant lines in aips17/DA00/DADEVS.LIST<br />
<br />

Honestly, I’m just exploring opening the “OLD” version through the new version because the old version won’t open and load on its own. Like I said, I don’t need to be transferring files – I just want to open the 07 files in the 07 AIPS. My best guess was that the new installation may have overwritten something that’s causing the problem in point 1. But it could certainly be something else.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Subject: [#11886]: Accessing Old Versions of AIPS with New Versions Installed<br />
<br />
The ~/.AIPSRC file is only used by install.pl - no worries there.<br />
<br />
1. When you get that message try "echo $PATH" which should point<br />
to where the the $SYSLOCAL area is for 31DEC07. This is most important<br />
since I do not expect 31DEC17 to read 31DEC07 data and vice versa - at<br />
least not without difficulties due to subtle changes in format. You may have to<br />
run 31DEC07 and make FITS files with FITTP or FITAB and then read them<br />
back with 31DEC17.<br />
<br />
3. Can you tell me in detail what messages 31DEC17 provided when trying to<br />
start aips with the 2 data directories in DADEVS.LIST?<br />
