In $SYSLOCAL there are symbolic links to $AIPS_ROOT/START_AIPS call
aips and AIPS.  These will need to be changed.  If you want to run the
MNJ, you may also need to change symbolic links in $TST/$ARCH/UPDATE.

I do remind you that we have a new development version of aips 31DEC06
with some interesting changes - see the AIPSLetters and other info
