Where did you find an instruction to copy these servers to $SYSLOCAL?
i ask because you are not doing it right and I would like to fix the
confusing instructions.  Having copied these files to $SYSLOCAL, edit
the 2 lines in each that contain the string -hold to remove the comment 
symbol.  Then start aips normally - these scripts cannot be run on their 
own.
