         Surely not!  Unless you want to come up to date which would
be a good idea I suspect.  I did get a remark from one of your users
about UVFLG that may be related to that.  I cannot find the message
TEXT INPUT anywhere.  Are you sure that is exactly what is said?  And
by AIPS or LWPLA itself?  I looked in the routines that do INPUTS and
GO and the POPS error routine (which is what that message looks
like).  Does INPUTS work?
