I have tested the program on our leopard system on AM959 and AH927 and 
it works fine.

There are two things to try:

1. When it says it downloaded the file from the VLA web site it stores 
it in /tmp with the above name.  You could look at the file and see if 
it has something odd about it - send it to me would help.

2. Place the attached file as $AIPSTARS/VLA.ant.2008 and try VLANT (it 
should not copy anything in that case).

$AIPS_STARS is $AIPS_ROOT/TEXT/STARS/

Thanks
