Hi,

I have the 31DEC08 version of AIPS installed on my linux machine.  When I
start up AIPS, the Tek, TV (X-AIPS tv Screen Server 98), and Message Servers
all seem to come up correctly.  AIPS seems to work fine until I try to use
the TV server.  When I use tasks such as TVLOD or TVALL to load an image, I
get the following error:
>AIPS 1: ZACTV8: TASK TVALL  DOES NOT EXIST IN
>AIPS 1: ZACTV8: VERSION = TST

The same happens for TVLOD.  Here is a copy of my terminal display when I
start up AIPS:

=AICHA:~%aips

Any idea what could be the cause of this error?

Thanks,
