[daip] FW: AIPS error message almap7, jansky

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Hi Anthony,

This problem has been reported before, but not in relation to a Linux upgrade. 
The problem is that there is a file that AIPS thinks is bigger than it really 
is.  It is probably the message file. The solution is to delete the message 
file, which will not hurt anything important.  The message file is in the first 
AIPS area, and is called "MSDuuu000.uuu\;" where the uuu is your AIPS number in 
extended hex (3G0 for 4464).  Delete this file (and no others!) and you should 
be OK.
