[daip] Re: AIPS RUNFIL problem

[Alice Argon]

Hi,

We are unable to execute any non-system runfiles in AIPS.  The problem 
occurs on multiple machines and for multiple users.

Below is a message sent to Eric Greisen which summarizes the problem.

Does anyone have any insight into what might be causing the problem?

Thanks,
 Alice
