The PPX cpu chip has an IBM compiler that was not updated to the latest 
operating systems.  We keep out PPX machine at a very old OS.

I do not know what you mean by

  Enter command MAKE.BMNJ - put it.

The install.pl process should continue after the MAKE.BMNJ section if 
you keep hitting the Enter key even if MAKE.BMNJ fails.

Among the 463 files in $LOAD must be FILAIP.EXE so I do not make sense 
of your previous comment that it does not exist.

One question - did you change the $SITE name accidentally or 
deliberately when doing the new installation?  Check $SITE and the file 
$AIPS_ROOT/HOSTS.LIST.  Then cd $TST/$ARCH/SYSTEM
is there a directory with your current SITTE name and is it populated 
with files.  This is a common error when re-installing AIPS and can 
cause all sorts of odd behavior...
