Hello,

  I have a question on FITLD. I have a VSOP experiment recorded in VLBA 
format, copied to S2 and correlated at Penticton. This is a spectral line 
experiment with 8192 channels for each of 2 IFs. As in the following email 
to Penticton I can not load the FITLD file by FITLD, and Penticton people 
do not know why. The error message says "chans   16384 too many, get AIPS 
Manager ". Does AIPS has limit in number of channels to deal with FITLD? 
Thank you in advance for answering to this question.

Cheers,

Shinji.
