[daip] AIPS PW files?

[Tracy Clarke (Foreign National)]

Hi Eric,

I installed a new OS (Ubuntu) today and a new AIPS (31DEC11) and I still get the same message about the PW
file. The NETSP file is as I sent it earlier today so there are no non-zero numbers after the TIMEDEST. Do you
know of something else I can check into? Thanks!
