     The aips vocabulary has been corrupted in the LASTEXIT file.
Frankly I do not understand how this happens and recent code even has
extra tests for it.  The VERSION adverb contains something in your
case so enter

VERSION = ' '

inside aips and INP etc should work.

This is something else I fear since tvall should turn on image planes
as needed - perhaps TVALL is corrupted since it is a procedure also
kept in the LASTEXIT file.  Try a

RESTORE 0

to replace all existing vocabulary.
