I don't know whether to send this to Eric or John --
Eric did a very cool thing in AIPS where it was possible to load files
from the archive directly by specifing in FILLM:
INFILE 'FITS:TAPENAME_
without the trailing quote. This meant that you could load all data for a
particular program just by specifying the program code. AIPS looked for
TAPENAME_1, TAPENAME_2 etc.
Now however we are forbidden direct access to the archive and while the
download system works quite well it gives you files named like:
AK331_A930801.xp1
AK331_A930801.xp2
AK331_B930803.xp1
AK331_C931220.xp1
AK331_C931220.xp2
AK331_D931222.xp1
AK331_D931222.xp2
AK331_E940425.xp1
AK331_E940425.xp2
AK331_E940426.xp3
AK331_E940426.xp4
AK331_F940609.xp1
AK331_G940617.xp1
AK331_H940707.xp1
AK331_I941023.xp1
These files have to be loaded one at a time, since there they don't follow
the naming convention in FILLM.
This isn't earthshattering but it would be nice to have the same
functionality we used to have.
