[daip] FITLD problem

[gcastell at iafe.uba.ar]

Dear all,

I am processing data using 31DEC08 version. I have installated this version
using Debian 3.1  with a compilator GCC3.X.
I use FITLD to store my uv file which has two IF and 1 FG table. The 
problem is that when I plot the data using UVPLT, AIPS only seems to see
the flags made on IF-1. Of course the FG table also includes a lot of
flags for IF-2, but this is not taken into account when I plot the uv data
with bif 2 eif 2 flagver 1. I don't understand what is wrong! I will be
very gratefull if you could help me with this.

thank you very much!
Gabi


The inputs used in FITLD were

INTAPE        1                    Input tape drive # (0 => 1)
AIPS 2: NFILES        0                    # of files to advance on tape
