This particular message is harmless; it'll go away when you enter AIPS
as user#1 and have a clean exit therefrom.

If you're the "aips manager", you need to edit $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/NETSP and
fill in some information abou the data areas in the DADEVS.LIST file in
the same area.  If you're not (Harry Payne might be?), then please pass
this note on to whomever is.

The XAS TV didn't find a 24-bit (truecolor) environment, so it throttled
back to 8-bit display.  This is probably ok, unless you wanted the
former (and if so, it's an X11 issue).

You can fix this for a single session via:

    echo "AIPStv*useSharedMemory: 0" | xrdb -merge

from the unix command line, or make it more permanent in a .Xdefaults
file (assuming your unix environment actually uses such a file; some do,
some ignore it).  What's happening here is that you're unable to use
shared memory for some reason, perhaps because the system thinks
"nashville" isn't the local host.  In any event, this hack above will at
least get you started.

It's the message file for user#1, into which messages that occur prior
to you supplying an AIPS usernumber will go.
