<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Dear Eric,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your prompt response. I think I will go ahead with the installation of the 31DEC23 version (and possibly any latest version that comes out in the future). I am particularly interested in the polarization updates that I read in the latest AIPSLetter, since I am currently working on 43 GHz VLBA circular polarization observations of AGN jets and the proper calibration of such data. Let me also take this opportunity to thank you for creating and maintaining AIPS along with the rest of the team! It is truly a powerful, comprehensive and iconic piece of software!</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Ioannis Myserlis</div><div><br><div>

To stay all<br>the way up to date, including new things and bug fixes announced in<br>recent AIPSLetters, you actually have to install the newer versions.<br>31DEC23 does not differ from 31DEC22 by much so far, but installing<br>31DEC23 now plus occasional MNJs would keep you current for quite a<br>while. Best practice is to install the latest version at some point<br>perhaps when the AIPSLetter shows something of interest to you.<br>CHANGE.DOC also is a good thing to monitor. It may be less work to<br>simply do as you suggest and install the latest when it comes out.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Eric Greisen<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>
