If there really is APLNOT problems then no we did not.  The problem we
found is that the linker will not allow you to include the same
library twice in the list.  AIPS requires APLSUB and APL<arch> to be
in the list twice.  Where necessary (and it does not always arise) we
have made symlinks to e.g APLSUB and APLLINUX and changed LIBR.DAT to
include the symlink names as the second inclusion of these libraries.
