[daip] aips installation

[Eric Greisen]

Yesterday we had a disastrous hail storm in the afternoon and it
caught us up short.  I had putbck a file $INC/DSEL.INC and had not
putbck the associated files (you list 4 of them below) to make the
situation for the MNJ consistent.  I forgot - in the excitement of
busted up cars, roofs, houses, etc - about the MNJ or I could have
fixed things in part last night.  I am sorry about that.

gcc 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 have given trouble to some other aips
installations.  I would recommend 3.2.3 or 3.4.2 (the former well
tested the latter just now tested a little but seemingly okay).  The
compiler is not however the source of your current problem.

In 31DEC04/DSEL.INC change the definition of DOSMTH from INTEGER to
LOGICAL and then restart install.pl
