      The password for the aips manager as installed is AMANAGER - I
thought that install.pl supplied this (at least it does that when I
have run it).  If you run by hand FILAIP then you have to supply it.
YOu should not have to run SETPAR although it is good to check the
parameters - esp the speed parameter whioch should now be rather more
than 1 (the default when it says 0).

    why notv - the tv is the most useful part of aips I think.

     Only if you type user number 1 which we reserve for the aips
manager.  Any other number is without password (by default) - one can
add a password later with the aips verb PASSWORD.

      Any way you want.  Users here used to use their assigned VLA
user numbers and - now that they have a machine to themselves - they
actually use a great many numbers for separate projects.
