DADEVS is a very simple file.  You edit it with emacs or whatever text
editor you use.  It says things like
-  /home/paso/AIPS/PASO_1
-  /DATA/BCLARK_1
-  /DATA/CHIP_1
-  /DATA/DALE_1
-  /DATA/OSKAR_1
-  /DATA/OSKAR_2
-  /DATA/OSKAR_3
-  /DATA/OSKAR_4
-  /DATA/OSKAR_5
Note the format - a minus sign, 2 blanks, the path to the data file.
The name of the computer must be in the path somewhere in upper case
letters.  but note that
-  /DATA/OSKAR/MYDATAREAC
-  /DATA/OSKAR/MYDATAREAA
-  /DATA/OSKAR/MYDATAREAB
-  /DATA/OSKAR/MYDATAREAD
-  /DATA/OSKAR/MYDATAREAE
would work fine for oskar.

    You are sitting in front of oskar itself, rather than logged in
via some ssh?  Does your account have passwordless login to  itself?

In your account, are $SSH_CLIENT or $SSH_CONNECTION set?
What is $DISPLAY set to?  I suggest that you put echo somethings in
all through where $AIPS_ROOT/START_AIPS tries to set $WORKST and see
what is going wrong.

No it could not be the problem.  We do not use ssh.

You may have to re-prime the MNJ.  Delete ~/.cvspass (note that the
MNJ must be run in the same account as installed aips).  then cd to
your aips_root area:

source LOGIN.CSH
$CDTST
MAKE.BMNJ

This will run cvs to log in to the aoc and will need you to hit Enter
(a blank password).
