[daip] Problem with FITLD

[Eric Perlman]

Hi Eric,

Ok, got it.  I just confirmed that this takes care of my problem - the only 
difference between what you were doing and what I am doing is the lack of a 
close quote.  Frankly I didn't even know that could be done ... AIPS used 
to barf when you did that!

Thanks,

Eric.
