I gave up supporting the GB installation (from the AOC) when the
unilaterally moved a bunch opf stuff around and even changed the one
account I could slogin into so that I could not even run cron!  I do
not know if new management cares about AIPS or its users, but if they
do, then I would be willing to try to work with them to get a modern
version of aips running in a re-organized setup.  We are supposed to
be one observatory, but GB refused to cooperate and, when I made AIPS
non-functional, their management said, in effect, "who cares?"!

I doubt that I can log in at GB, but even if I could I would not help
you there (anywhere else of course!) until the situation is clarified
and fixed.
