Hello,
Whenever I run JMFIT in AIPS release 31DEC15 I am greeted by the following:
>go jmfit

I do not get this behaviour on 31DEC14. It seems to happen for all images I try to fit in 31DEC15 though. Since JMFIT "Appears to have ended successfully" and I get values, I think it runs OK. From the message service window, the error seems related to printers, which I'm not using here. But perhaps, if someone has a few minutes, it could be nice to investigate and clean the source of this error.

Steps to replicate: I think this should happen if running JMFIT on any image in 31DEC15. I did:
getn i
tvlo
twin, to select a window
go jmfit

Best regards,
Eskil
