The data and code should be fine - go ahead with the installation.  You 
may find that you have to go back and set up system services, max 
allowed shared memory pages, and that sort of stuff.  See the aips 
manager FAQ page:

        http://www.aips.nrao.edu/aipsmgr/index.html

for a refresher.

There are a few differences in the code but we detect the change in the 
OS and respond accordingly (X is addressed rather differently in 10.5).
