I have AIPS Version 31DEC04 (installed in April 2004 without
Midnight Job)  and Linux computer (FEDORA).

AIPS starts without problems:

AIPS 1: Resumes
 >

I know that the data should look the same at both IFs : I used a 
computer (Linux ,  RedHeat 7.2) with AIPS version DEC02 and used the 
same parameters of FILLM
and both frequencies are fine.

I will appreciate very much any advice.
Thank you very much.
