I fear that you have copied Solaris files to a Linux box or Linux
files to a Mac box.  AIPS is not byte-order independent and you cannot
do this.

Data must be moved between different byte orders via FITS files.  We
provide RUN file procedures to assist with this.  RUN WRTPROCS and
then proc WRTDISK (n.b. on the previous computer!) and then READISK on
the current one.
