[daip] AIPS in Cambridge

Hi Eric,

   Greetings from Cambridge.  At the behest of my collaborators here 
I have attempted to install AIPS and am supposed to train a student
in its use (at least enough to run the VLA pipeline on a few easy
data sets).  The installation has gone fairly well except in the
matter of defining disk drives.  I don't have much experience with
these multi-machine installations and I've probably goofed something up.  
I have read the instructions and looked at the installation on my
laptop and am stuck.  Any hints on what I might have messed up 
would be greatly appreciated.  

   Also, the CIAO package for X-ray data analysis that they have
also defines DATA_ROOT.  Could this be the problem, and is
there a simple work-around like changing DATA_ROOT to DATA_ROT
in AIPSASSN.CSH and AIPSASSN.SH, or will that break things?

   Thanks,
                                           - Greg

#
# ZDCHIN will look for this file in $NET0 if it succeeds in translating
# logical NVOL, indicating that the AIPS network data disk allocation
# facility is in use.  The system is implemented via the DADEVS.SH
# and optional DADEVS.PL perl script which defines NVOL, and DA0[1-Z].
#
# ZDCHIN interprets each entry as
#    1) location of the data disk (translated value of DA0[1-F])
#       e.g.  /DATA/ATELES_3
#    2) the TIMDEST limit for the disk, in days
#       e.g.  7.0
#    3) eight AIPS booking system user numbers (-1 in first => scratch)
#       e.g.  1   29    0    0    0    0    0    0
#
# When editing this file, DO NOT USE THE TAB KEY OR INSERT ANY TABS!
