[daip] The error of "No such file or directory: '**/DA00/TDD000004; " using AIPS

[Bill Cotton]

Aiyuan,
    In spite of being all in upper case (screaming in computerese) they 
are merely annoying and do not cause anything to fail. Copying the other 
files (ACD..., MSD..., TCD...)in a DA00 directory will eliminate, or at 
least reduce these.
