     USERID is an adverb that has default value 0 and is not changed
by loging in.  Those few things in aips that use USERID take 0 to be
whatever the user number was that you typed logging in.

I see what happened.  You must have run FILAIP by hand rather than
with the the install.pl script.  The first question is about disks and
number of slots to put in the catalog.  The second number must be
negative to imply that you want user-owned catalogs.  The CA file
above is meant for multiple users and I am not surprised that it is
not working correctly as that mode is no longer used and so has not
been tested.

exit aips

cd $AIPS_ROOT
source LOGIN.CSH    (or . LOGIN.SH for bash shells)
$CDTST

RUN FILAIP
4 -100
4 2
35

RUN POPSGN
0 POPSDAT TST
stop

And all should be well.
