     Actually, both types of TV are normally available and this is not
an important distinction.  The SOCKTYPE controls only the default.

    The message window and a window for line plotting (TEKtronix)

     This is a lock daemon for the TV

     These need to be mentioned in the NETSP file to avoid the warning
message.

    On Suns the default maximum shared memory segment is 1 Megabyte
even though their TV screens are larger than that.  Add to the
/etc/system file the lines:

* Large shared memory segment for AIPS TV, from Dave Brown
*   GEM, 20 Mar 98

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608

This is 8 Megabytes which should do fine for true color (needs 4-6
Megabytes) depending on the number of pixels on your screen.

You should add 1 mt0 service to your /etc/services (or YP services)
since we run one TPMON for access to FITS disk files.  With no real
tape devices you only need aipsmt0 service.

This is the message caused by the service being missing.
