            I suspect that they were very far from normal - you should
show me these.  It copies numerous files, makes link files etc

cd $AIPS_ROOT/DA00
cd ZEEMAN
ls -laF

cd $AIPS_ROOT/DA00
cd JANSKY
ls -laF

 The files were not created properly

perhaps an ls -laF in the TEMPLATE area might also show something

Your host and architecture is not known - check the typing in
HOSTS.LIST it is very fussy about format
