[daip] Help with AIPS

[Jonathan Mines]

Eric,

1.  When I attempt to use different TV commands, I receive the following 
error message:

 >tvinit
ZSSSO2 connect (INET): Connection refused
AIPS 1: ZSSSOP: CHANNEL ASSIGN ERROR FOR LUN    9
AIPS 1: YTVOPN: TV OPEN ERROR      6
AIPS 1: TV OPEN ERROR      6

What does this mean?  I already followed your instructions and set up 
the system services for the TV, TEK, and message server.  The TEKSRV and 
MSGSRV windows seem to be functioning properly.


2.  Exactly what is the purpose of the AIPS_TEKSRV window?  It almost 
seems to simply duplicate a LINUX shell.  Thank you.
