[daip] apparent procedure bug & best way to install Dec05 AIPS image

[Hugh D. Aller]

Dear Eric, Amy and associates,
1.  Our AIPS at Michigan is now 7 months out of date (We have a June 27 
2004, Linux version compiled with gnu 3.2.2).  It appears, based on 
your comments on the AIPS web page that it is best to go back to using 
GNU 2.95.3) is that correct?

2. Perhaps of "Academic interest only":  We apparently have a broken 
version of VLBAFQS:  it initializes a parameter (EIF) to -1 (which is 
illegal) and immediately crashes.  The problem appears academic, 
because VLBAFIX appears to work correctly (which does the same thing), 
but perhaps the problem is indicative of a bad local build of AIPS.  I 
just thought I should check.
Sincerely
hugh
