[daip] Configuring new AIPS disks on MAC

[Ilse van Bemmel]

I am trying to configure new AIPS disk areas on my MAC, but it will  
not read a .dadevs file in my home directory. It finds the file, but  
always seems to think it is empty. Editing the DADEVS.LIST in  
$AIPSROOT/DA00 doesn't work either. AIPS will only see the disks that  
I have listed when I installed it. I have tried editing every  
possible file that I could think of that lists the data areas  
($HOME/.AIPSRC, $AIPSROOT/DA00/NETSP), but to no effect.

I run the latest Tiger OS, AIPS version 31DEC06 with MNJ. Is this  
perhaps a typical MAC problem or am I making some mistake? What would  
be a quick fix, besides reinstalling AIPS with the new disk settings?

Thanks!
