[daip] AIPS DVD

[Joseph Helmboldt]

Thanks, Eric.  I will try your tar suggestion and see if that works.  If not, I will pester you for the install DVD.  Thank you.

Is there a way for me to create an installation DVD with a different computer (with internet access) that can be used to install AIPS on this unconnected machine, or is that something that has to be generated by NRAO?  Thank you.

Alternatively we do have a way of making a DVD which is supported by install.pl.  I have not done that in years but there is no reason to believe that I could not do it again.
