I am trying to get the program to work on my second host, but I keep getting the error message: 'ZMSGOP:  FILE DA01:MSD001000.001;     NOT FOUND'.

For one - this "error" is unimportant and does not stop you from running 
aips.  DA01 is the logical name for the first data area and the MSD file 
for user 1 gets created when you log in as user 1 (password required = 
AMANAGER).  The data areas are shown to you as you start up aips and 
depend on the computer name and the contents of the dadevs file used 
(there are several possible choices).
