[daip] Problem loading a data set with FILLM

[Jason Wurnig]

Hi daip,

An observer (and now I) encountered some problems attempting to load a
VLA data set from the archive (AS813 obs. date 2004DEC24) into AIPS with
task FILLM.

The inputs for FILLM are:

...
>inp
AIPS 1: FILLM     Task to read a VLA archive tape

The message I receive is:

The archive data file AS813_C041224.xp1 is located on /home/agave4/ftp/pub on
machine agave.  The AIPS files that were started with FILLM are located on
machine agave, AIPS disk 2, AIPS user # 14.

Can you tell what I am doing wrong?

Jason
