      This is a strange message for TVLOD - what verb are you using?

      which is what it is supposed to do.

     Not really.  There are a couple of thoughts:

1. Outside AIPS check what AIPS things are running.  I was wondering
somehow if there were 2 versions of XAS or TVSERV or whatever.  Try
TKPL on one of the plot files too.

2. cd $AIPS_ROOT
   source LOGIN.CSH       (or . LOGIN.SH for bash)
   $CDTST
   RUN POPSGN
   0 POPSDAT TST
   <cr>

then in AIPS after giving your user number

   compress
   GETN n
   INPUTS TVLOD
   TVLOD
