[daip] my AIPS doesn't work

[Ian Hoffman]

Eric,

 AIPS recently failed me in the following manner:

>clrmsg

And when I restart I get:

AIPS 1:                          31DEC03 AIPS:

And it is not just the `tget imagr' that gives me the ZTXMAT error, 
anything as simple as an `inp' gives the same response.
