[daip] Problem with VLAPROCS

[gcastell at iafe.uba.ar]

Dear colleague,

My name is Gabriela Castelletti. I am writing you because I have a problem
with the task VLACALIB, more exactly when I run VLAPROCS.

I have AIPS (31DEC06) installed in a Debian Linux System in a PC. I am
reducing VLA data at C band. When I run VLACALIB task the answer is "NOT
TASK".  I checked the response from VLAPROCS (see below, please), and find
that it did not finished correctly. I don't know the reason for that.
Maybe the corresponding file in AIPS is corrupted...
It will be great if you can help me with this.
Just in case, could the file be replaced?


Thank you for your time,
Gabriela

It would be great if you guys had some ideas for what I
could do. Or if, by chance you have come across it before
and know what I should do, that would also be great.

Thanks for your time,
Brian
