There is a known problem with the Makefile, but there's an easy
workaround.

See anything wrong here?  The $AIPS_VERSION was incorrect in the
environment.  Check the 31DEC00/LINUX/LOAD area to see if you have XAS
(larger than zero bytes) there.  If it's not there, create a zero length
file in its place, make sure you have $CDTST pointing at 31DEC00, then

     cd $YSERV/XAS
     make clean
     make

and that should take care of it.

Cool.  Wish DSL came out to where I am, but the 3-miles-from-the-switch
requirement kills any chance I have.  Anyway, the MNJ is now using 31DEC01
(but you probably knew this).
