[daip] How to find used/free aips user IDs

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Hi Roderick,

You can basically use any aips number (except 1, which requires a password) you 
want if you do not share your data disks.  I looked and you are not assigned one 
here.  Basically the aips number just keeps the data catalogs for different 
users separate.  If you use a computer with shared disks, you can look in the 
aips data directories and the aips number being used are the extensions to the 
files, in extended hex.  E.g., for file "HID01B001.1BH;" the 1BH is the aips 
number and that translates to 1709.

Does that help?  If you want an aips number we can assign you one.
