Do this:

   grep -v ^- APLSUB.LIS

in that area.  It'll show you the module(s) that failed.  I usually
shorthand this to "grep -v ^- *.LIS" as it usually amounts to the same
thing, and if there are other problems (unlikely; INSTEP2 stops on the
first such library), they show up then.

When you find which module, try it by hand:

     COMRPL $APLSUB/FOOBAR.FOR

(not "FOOBAR"!) and see what gives.

PS. I'll punt the followup on this to "daip" as I'm no longer actively
    involved in the AIPS group, other than as a consultant and "interested
    party" on things like the secure shell.
