[daip] no tv screen on local workstation

[Chiara Giorgieri]

Dear sir,
	I installed the binary version (SUL) of 15APR99 AIPS on Solaris 2.6 
(and 2.7) workstations, but we have problems with the TV screen. 
When I open aips from a workstation defined with a + in the HOSTS.LIST (i.e. 
"host runs AIPS and can/will run a TV server"), the window titled "X-AIPS tv 
Screen Server 98 - INET" does not apears, while if the workstation is defined 
as = ("host is an X11 display terminal") and I rlogin to another workstation, 
all three windows open. 
Since I have no idea of what's going on, I include the output of two sessions, 
both executed sitting in front of the workstation named ishtar. The first one 
(which doesn't open the TV screen) is run on ishtar itself, which is defined 
in the HOSTS.LIST as: 
+  ISHTAR     SUL     OAB      NONE        Ultra 30 (248MHz)
Then I changed the definitions as follow: 
+  MILES      SUL     OAB      NONE        Ultra 30 (248MHz)
=  ISHTAR     SUL     OAB      miles       Ultra 30 (248MHz)
and run the second session (the TV Screen opens!) from a telnet to the 
workstation miles. 
Could you tell me what is wrong? 

One more question: I installed the "Ultra" precompiled version, but then 
realised that all tape drives are on Sparkstations: may I just install the 
executable(s) that read the tape, or do I have to install the whole aips for 
the non-Ultra-2 architecture (or rather to move the tape on a newer 
machine...)? 

Thank you, 
	Chiara Giorgieri
