Hello! 

I find something confusing when using the Y2K benchmark in my desktop and really need your help. 

Since I am using my desktop, I don't have a tape. So how should I set up the value of DDISK, TDISK, IOTAPE and Y2KDISK? 

Now I set the value of Y2KDISK to be 'FITS', where FITS=/home/miao/Y2K, an area in my disk. And then I put my Y2KSUVDATA into this folder and run, but the file still cannot be found by AIPS.
 
The output is like this:
AIPS 1: * Read/Write the input visibility dataset:
AIPS 1: GET Y2K000RW
AIPS 1: Y2KPROC
AIPS 1: Limited to    files matching name parms DY2KS       .UVDATA.   0

I wonder what's the problem here.

If you could help me, I would appreciate it very much.



Thanks!
