Ah, okay. That makes sense. Yes, thankfully my old DATA directory wasn’t deleted, just moved into 31DEC07 for some reason. So I moved it back and now I’m able to access all those files from 31DEC17.

Thank you so much for your help!

i think I see the issue with exit.  Since disk 1 is for 31DEC17
it contains SAVE/GET files including LASTEXIT that are not compatible
with 31DEC07 AIPS.  I suspect that it will be best to run 31DEC17
but access the 31DEC07 data disk.  I have attempted to have older
formats in tables automatically update so perhaps we should be
good.  Backward compatibility is very hard to manage!
