[daip] Problem with WX tables in APCAL

[Alan Marscher]

Hi,

I installed the 31JAN08 version of AIPS on 12 March 2008. I am now trying
to process a VLBA dataset read in with FITLD. When I went to run APCAL
with DOFIT=1, it failed, with an error message stating that the WX table
couldn't be read and may be corrupt.

I see that this error was patched in FITLD in the 31DEC07 version. So, I
ran the midnight job, in case this would apply a similar patch to the
31JAN08 version, and I read in the data again with FITLD. But APCAL still
fails. I even used TBOUT and cut and paste the numerical tables in the WX
table into a WX table from a previous dataset, in case the corruption was
in the file header. But APCAL still failed.

I'd appreciate any advice you can give me to solve this problem.

Thanks,
Al
