   Hi Eric, many thanks, the problem is almost fixed:

   Ok, I switch to this address.

   In addition to the file linked to my user number (126)
there is another one:
 
MSD001000.001;
MSD03I000.03I;

    I only erased the 03I, can I erase both? I'm getting quite 
much less error messages after this, and tasks seem to be
working fine. This is the output while running AIPS:

   I get this:


> SGINDEX
AIPS 1:    SAVE name              Last SAVE time         version
AIPS 1:   'LASTEXIT        '   30-JUL-2014  20:42:29     CURRENT



   Any hint?  Many thanks in advance,

Hector
