[daip] Error starting AIPS 31DEC21

[Joseph D Gelfand]

Hi Eric,

      Thanks for this.  I've run MNJ again, and it seems to hang with the
last line of text being "DADEVS.PL: This program is untested under Perl
version 5.016"   for >20 minutes at this point.  Do you know what the
problem might be?  Thanks a lot -- Yosi
