[daip] trouble reading VLA data in archival format into FILLM

[Ruth Daly]

Dear VLA Specialist,

I have VLA data obtained by O'Dea et al., and am having
trouble reading the data into FILLM.  The D array data set is called
AO170_B030411.XP11.  This data is in archival format.

We are using 31DEC03 version of AIPS on a machine with LINUX 7.2, and the
compiler was upgraded according to your instructions; we compiled AIPS with
2.95.3.

We have tried many different ways of reading in the data file, and each 
time we
get a similar error message: ZTPOPN: DISK DEVICE = (whatever we used)1 NOT
FOUND.  FLDKIO: ERROR

We have tried using a direct path, as described in section 3.10.1 in the 
COOKBOOK; and
we have tried defining user data area assignments in a .dadevs file in my 
home directory.
Neither of these worked.  We also tried adding destinations to the 
DADEVS.LIST file, and
this seemed to have no effect.

We are wondering: where do we put the data to be read in by FILLM?

The output from AIPS is:

START_AIPS: User data area assignments:
   (Using private file /home/daly/.dadevs)
    Disk 1 (1) is /home/daly/L219-2/VLADATA/
    Disk 2 (2) is /usr/AIPS/DATA/L219-2_1
    Disk 3 (3) is /usr/AIPS/DATA/L219-2_VLADATA

L219-2> FILLM1: Task FILLM  (release of 31DEC03) begins
L219-2> FILLM1: UV data will be written in compressed format
L219-2> FILLM1: Shadow flag limit =  2.500E+01 meters.

We really appreciate your assistance and suggestions with this problem.

Thank you!

Best Wishes,
