I am running online FILLM on fast switching data taken an hour or so
ago, and selected the data on time range only:

AIPS 1: Found in Version=ONLINE
AIPS 1: FILLM     Task to read a VLA archive tape
AIPS 1: Adverbs     Values                 Comments
AIPS 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------
AIPS 1: INTAPE        1                    Tape drive number

AIPS 1: NFILES        0                    Number of files to advance
AIPS 1:                                    Also applies to ON-LINE!
AIPS 1: BAND       ' '                     Freq. band:

AIPS 1:              30           0

I get many, many error messages of the type:

oxus  > FILLM1: Found 02175+73495     :    0 50.000 MHz at IAT   0/ 
19:29:58.5
oxus  > FILLM1: PROGRAM ID HAS CHANGED FROM 'FS01  ' TO 'SYSSTA'
oxus  > FILLM1: PROGRAM ID HAS CHANGED FROM 'SYSSTA' TO 'FS01  '
oxus  > FILLM1: Ref. date = 20080902 A-C =  8.435100 B-D =  8.485100 GHz
oxus  > FILLM1: Appending new data to: 20080902    .X BAND.  2 disk  1

and the resulting file's NX table appears to be corrupted: after
scan 20 or so it creates a scan every 0.4 sec integration:

1  116070     116189

Deleting the NX file and running INDXR fixes that.
