[daip] cannot start AIPS

[Amy Kimball]

Hi,

I seem to be unable to start AIPS even though I have certainly used it 
in the past. I don't know what changed about my setup. (Amy M has come 
to help me but we are stuck as she does not have aipsmgr permissions.) 
Here are the messages I'm getting upon trying to start up:

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

It appears that my computer QUASAR, while listed in HOSTS.LIST, does not 
have a directory in $DA00.

Could you please help me with the setup so that I can run AIPS again?

Thanks!
