Ignore my advice in the last e-mail - the chmod was probably enough.

I suspect that the install.pl still did not finish entirely normally in 
that it runs 2 programs at the end.  You can run them by hand:

RUN FILAIP
8 2

RUN POPSGN
0 POPSDAT TST

and one more carriage return after the > prompt.

Note that case matters in the above.

AIPS allows user numbers from 1 through 36**3-1.  User 1 has special 
privilege and a build in password AMANAGER which you may need on 
occasion.  Use any other number and no password is required unless you 
choose to add one.   People tend to use multiple numbers to separate 
their various projects.

The FILAIP makes sure all needed control files exist with initial values 
and POPSGN generate the POPS language structure that does the 2+2 for you.

Congratulations
