       What is it that is wrong with this output.  I see something but
these words suggest you see something else..

What I do not see is any messages from XAS itself.  The above are from
scripts such as START_AIPS, XASERVERS, and from AIPS.EXE itself.

When you reach this state, does a ps show any XAS process?

ps -elf | grep XAS

Is there an XAS executable in $LOAD  ($AIPS_ROOT/31DEC04/$ARCH/LOAD).
You are running as localhost so I take it that this is a laptop
installation.  What is the architecture?
