[daip] Installation of AIPS 31DEC03 - TV problems

[Eric Greisen]

I have been testing this and there are several ways to go

1. In HOSTS.LIST if the Mac appears with an = in column 1 and field 5
is set to alose, then it should work simply to say

         aips

2. No matter what HOSTS.LIST says

         aips tv=macbrouillet:alose

   should work.

3. With a small fix to START_TVSERVERS in $AIPS_ROOT

         aips tv=local

   should work so long as $DISPLAY=alose:11.0 or something like that
   indicating an ssh login.  It also ought to work if
   $DISPLAY=macbrouillet:0.0.

The fix is to modify the last portion of $AIPS_ROOT/START_TVSERVERS
with the following:

#                                       X11 of some sort, start XAS.
     if [ "$DISPLAY" = "" ] ; then
        DISPLAY="${TVDISP}:0"
        export DISPLAY
     elif [ "$TVDISP" = "$TVHOST" ] ; then
        if [ $SOCKTYPE = INET ] ; then
           DISPLAY="${TVDISP}:0"
           export DISPLAY
        fi
     fi
     if [ $SOCKTYPE = INET ] ; then
        XASERVERS
     else
        UNIXSERVERS
     fi
     ;;
esac
#                                       End of START_TVSERVERS

Can you send me the details of your fix to ZWINC2.C ??

Thanks,

Eric Greisen
