Hi, 
I recently installed Obit on my mac to be able to work with the new EVLA data in AIPS, however, I cannot get BDF2aips to work.  The first time I ran it, it seemed to work, but ended up giving me a strange header: 

AIPS 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------

I re-downloaded the EVLA data in case there was something wrong with the file itself, and now I cannot get bdf2aips to run at all.  It gives me the following messages: 
>bdf2aips
AIPS 1: ZTXOP2: using translated file name =

    raise RuntimeError, msg
RuntimeError: Task 'BDFIn' returns '1'
AIPS 1: AUO ERROR   2 ON RETURNED BY OPERATING SYSTEM

I am not sure what that means, but it would appear that AIPS is unhappy with something.  I used the following inputs: 
DOWAIT        2                  
 DOCRT         1

 Thank you in advance!-Trisha
