[daip] Error during AIPS loggin in !

[Everton Ludke]

Dear Sir,

   I am having a problem with a particular user number in aips
classical version. The system is a Slackware Linux 7.1.

   When I invoke AIPS in Unix and type the number, I have the following
message:

rosane at antares:~$
rosane at antares:~$ aips

START_AIPS:Your initial AIPS printer is the DUMMY PRINTER
START_AIPS:  - system name lp, AIPS type PREVIEW

START_AIPS: User data area assignments:

   Disk 3 (3) is /home/aips/DATA/ANTARES_3
   Disk 4 (4) is /home/aips/DATA/ANTARES_4
   Disk 5 (5) is /home/aips/DATA/ANTARES_5

Tape assignments:

   Tape 2 is REMOTE
   Tape 3 is REMOTE

      Then I type the aips number 300

? 300 <return>

Now, no aips command would work here. Even when I type exit
I get the following message:

>exit
AIPS 1: SYMBOL?  EXIT
>

Any other number will work fine and that's why I believe that it has
to do with some innitialization archive which may be corrupted. All
disks in that machine seems fine and can be read/written to from
other user numbers.

I would like to ask what may be the problem and how do I fix it
so that user number 300 can be used again ?

Thanks a lot,

AIPS manager
