New Client Reply: Extension Tables after loading archival EVLA data with AIPS

Thanks Eric.

A few more questions.

1. 
I could not perform OBIT successfully in Linux, with OBIT and AIPS (31DEC11) installed. The error messages are similar to those appeared here (except a few lines were not there in my case) :

#     raise RuntimeError, msg

I have tried various values of 'config' and the same things happened.
Also, I got the exact same messages when trying to run BDFLIST.
So I have no idea on what is going on.



2.
I could not install OBIT on Mac. Is there a script or recipe that I can follow?
I have tried following the steps suggested by 
http://www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~hrk/HRK_MAC_installing.html
but failed.



3.
In bandpass calibration, we will use a 'channel 0' pseudo-continuum data which is formed by averaging the central 75% channels (am I correct?). 

As mentioned in Chapter 4 of Cookbook, this 'channel 0' source is produced by FILLM. Since FILLM does not work for EVLA, is there a specific task to generate the 'channel 0' source? And is there a way to check for 'channel 0' source?



Thanks very much.
