[daip] AIPS (Classic) Refuses to start on my laptop.

[Rodrigo Parra]

Hi Eric,

thanks for your quick reply.

I have copied the contents of the DA00/AMADEUS/ (Desktop with healthy 
AIPS) into a new DA00/SIGYN/ (Laptop with sick AIPS)

now I went a step further and AIPS started but It doesn't seem to 
recognize any input. Please see below.

AIPS 1:                          31DEC07 AIPS:
