[daip] Re: AIPS 31DEC03 with patches problem (Mac OS X 10.3)

[Marc Audard]

Hi Eric-

No, I checked. I am the owner, the user, and the manager (I did not 
create the aipsmgr and aips accounts, I kept it under my own account). 
The file permission are also adequate (664):

-rw-rw-r--  1 audard  audard  1211392  6 Aug 12:12 CLD001002.07R;_disable
-rw-rw-r--  1 audard  audard     9216  9 Aug 18:08 SND001001.07R;_disable
-rw-rw-r--  1 audard  audard   178176  9 Aug 18:08 SND001002.07R;_disable

audard at LOCALHOST: ~ > whoami
audard
audard at LOCALHOST: ~ > groups
audard appserverusr admin appserveradm

To "resolve" the problem, here is what I did. I renamed the files to a 
new one (see above the "_disable" appendix). I then ran extdes, which 
complained there was no file, checked the header (go imh), and there was 
no CL table anymore (or SN table since it was also a problem).

Now everything seems to work fine. I cannot tell what is the problem, sorry.
