[daip] Installation problem

[Eric Greisen]

When aips starts up, it looks in the DADEVS.LIST file for any disks
belonging to the current $HOST by name.  In other words, in our setup
for my computer called primate it finds

- /DATA/PRIMATE_1
- /DATA/PRIMATE_2
- /DATA/PRIMATE_3

The - sign says to use these olly for primate or any other user that
specifically asks for them (da=primate on the command line).  The
DADEVS.LIST that you show does not appear to have the host name
encoded within the file names, so the search program does not know to
include them.  There are 2 solutions:

1. If only 1 computer is to use your aips installation, make all the
data areas "required" for all computers by replacing the - sign with a
plus sign.

2. Make link files say in $AIPS_ROOT/DATA like HOST_1 -> the first
area, HOST_2 -> second area etc and then change the DADEVS to point at
these link files (where HOST is your host name).
