The $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/DADEVS.LIST file contains the names of the data 
areas to be used.  If the first character in the line defining an area 
is a minus sign, then the area is optional and will be included only if 
the data area contains a string matching the host name.  Thus on my 
machine, called primate, only data areas such as

-  /home/primate/AIPS/PRIMATE_1

would be included while

-  /home/primate/AIPS/PILABO_1

would not.  Note that the name match is in upper case letters.  The 
alternative is to put a plus sign in column 1.  Then the data area will 
be included by EVERY computer using this installation.  Depending on 
your answer to section 5a of install.pl, the host name will be an actual 
host name, e.g. PRIMATE or it will be LOCALHOST.
