    But did you do the "source LOGIN.CSH" command?  The AIPS or aips
will not be known (i.e. in your $PATH) until you do.

Note the instructions in the file HOSTS.LIST given below.  Your
HOSTS.LIST has zero spaces between the + sign and the LOCALHOST
string.

AIPS hosts.  Spacing/position is significant for columns 1 and 2.  The
first item must be in column 1 and there must be exactly two spaces
between it and column 2.

Fields: 1 = "+"  host runs AIPS and can/will run a TV server (e.g. XAS),
            "-"  host is a TV server only (does not run AIPS), and
            "="  host is an X11 display terminal (does not run AIPS).
        2 = hostname, uppercase (NOT qualified, i.e. FOO, not FOO.EDU)
        3 = architecture (CVEX, IBM, SUN4, SUN3, HP, ALLN, CRI, IBM3090,
                  DEC, SGI, ...)
              Note: byte order and f.p. format MUST be identical on all.
        4 = Site.  Use same string for all your entries at one site.
        5 = Default server for X terminal (ignored for AIPS hosts, TV
              servers)
        6 = description (for people and your own benefit).

AOC version.  The descriptions are WAY out of date.
