[daip] AIPS MacBook Pro: input displays no integers

[Wes Young]

Ylva,

So when you say "copied over" what exactly did you copy?  The  
powerbook is big endian and macbook pro is little endian, if you  
copied over data and executables you're taking a big performance hit  
over what the native intel gives you.  I suppose it could cause your . 
99 issue too??? Then with native intel, you data disks will be the  
wrong byte order so there will be trouble. So if you really just did  
a recursive copy of your AIPS disk from the powerbook to the macbook  
pro, you're probably asking for trouble.  I would suggest doing a  
fresh binary install on the macbook pro and then to/from fits your data.
