Changes while 31DEC26 is TST
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
16335. December 1, 2025 Code rollover Eric
Changed $APLSUB/GETRLS.FOR. $INSUNIX/INSTEP1,
$SYSPERL/install.pl, $SYSPERL/update.pl, $SYSPERL/ZXHLP2.PL,
$SYSPERL/LaCook.PL, $SYSPERL/AIPSHELP, $UPDUNIX/UPDCONTROL,
$SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH.CSH, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH.SH
$SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH1.CSH, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH1.SH
to make 31DEC26 instead of 31DEC25 - also fix dates in
install.pl and update.pl.
Moved nowhere.
16336. December 5, 2025 CVS Eric
Removed more references to cvs from install.pl ans MAKE.MNJ.
Most were already limited to COAOARN or commented out.
Moved nowhere.
16337. December 4-5 AIPS web site Eric
Reviewed the files on the AIPS web site and updated several.
Created new web page and data area for VLBAPIPE and updated
the VLBARUN files.
16338. December 10, 2025 NEWPARMS Eric
Changing OFMGET and OFMSAVE to pseudo verbs in a RUN file
does not work. Removed those two lines. This means COMPRESS
is much better than RUN NEWPARMS.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16339. December 10, 2025 CATALOG Eric
Changed AU3 and help file to drop INTYPE. It frequently causes
issues so it was not include in CAT2LOG et al. Changed INTYPE
help as well.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16340. December 10, 2025 PRPLT Eric
PRPLT forgot to set XYRATIO to some sort of default so XYRATIO
=0 caused a failure. Changed GINITL to trap this and set it to
1.0 on DOTV false or to the TV window ratio. Changed PRPLT
also to adjust the top text position and set XYRATIO.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16341. December 10, 2025 GREYS Eric
Added DPARM to control the profile plots with (1) and (2)
controling size and (3)-(6) controling pixrange. Changed to
use the same metric scaling throughout. Added units strings
when a profile on the top is plotted.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16342. December 10, 2025 CLCAL Eric
Added a string on each SOURCES and CALSOUR history line saying
omitted or included. This information is already in the HI
file but some people do not read.
Moved nowhere.
16343. December 11, 2025 CLPLT Eric
Made printing to OUTTEXT a separate subroutine done before
plots so that stopping plots does not cut off the printing.
Corrected feature in which it lost the last sample which is
very bad when there is only one sample. Changed to plot
scaling to let it show more detail.
Moved to 31DEC25 on 12 December.
16344. December 12, 2025 Misc Eric
In GREYS, corrected units label at the bottom and position of
the label to right of top profile. IN CLPLT added antenna
numbers to the print out at the top of each triangle.
Changed number of adverbs in GREYS in subroutines AU2A (PLGET)
and AU8A (extlist).
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16345. December 15, 2025 CAPLT Eric
Added DOPRINT and OUTTEXT to CAPLT and added a subroutine to
print the values ahead of the subroutine to plot them. That
means that the full print is done even when the user stops
the plotting after a page or two.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16346. December 16, 2025 CLPLT, CAPLT Eric
Changed the computation of error bars from an assumption that
data weights are fully calibrator in 1/Jy^2. The new
computation uses the scatter in the data over the SOLINT
interval and hence requires that SOLINT be at least several
times the input integration time. Correct formulae are used
for the amplitude and phase functions' error computation.
Then the uncertainty is divided by the sqrt of the number of
samples - 1 to put the errors as "expected error".
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16347. December 22, 2025 EXTAB Eric
Corrected time format by adding a leading '0' when the seconds
are less than 9.95. Was blank before.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16348. December 29, 2025 Plot labels, PRPLT Eric
Changed CLAB1, CLAB2, IAXIS1, and TVLAB to put one and only one
blank character between the prefix and the axis label. This
should read better. Changed PRPLT to improve the positioning
of the labels. The top label was too close to the top plot
and the multiple panel plots did not leave enough room for the
labels. Fix DOPROFIL info in PRPLT help.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16349. December 29, 2025 AIPSLetter Eric
The AIPSLetter for 31DEC25 is done. Saved in $AIPSPUBL the
TEX, PDF, and PS.gz versions. The straight ps file is nearly
3 Mbytes.
Moved everywhere in $AIPSPUBL.
16350. January 2, 2026 EVLA corrections Eric
Took the file maintained by the analysts of corrections to
EVLA antenna locations and saved it in AIPS as $AIPSTARS
file EVLA.ant.2025. Also made a dummy VLA.ant.2025 in
$AIPSTARS. Made a new 2026 file for the analysts.
Moved everywhere in $AIPSTARS.
16351. January 2, 2026 RLCAL Eric
Moved test on whether a model is provided outside the IF
clause for single-source files. The model is required for
multi- as well as single-source files. Added a test after
the visibilities are copied to make sure that something
was copied.
Moved nowhere.
16352. January 14, 2026 ALBUS Eric
Corrected # adverbs. AVERSION, PROGRAM, some of STATIONS
were lost.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16353. January 16, 2026 KNTR Eric
Subroutine FXLEVS used by all contour tasks tried to read
an extra plane of data when CBCORN=5 in KNTR. That should
and did fail.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16354. January 16, 2026 TORMAT Eric
Made TORMAT an $APLSUB subroutine. Removed it from TVFLG,
SPFLG, FTFLG, and PCFLG.
Moved nowhere.
16355. January 20, 2026 VLBARUN, VLBAPIPE Eric
Changed the RUN files and help files to handle OUTFILE
blank more correctly. They were still trying to print
messages to a directory that was not created properly.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16356. January 22, 2026 TEPLT, SNPLT Eric
Changed TEPLT and SNPLT to offer another X axis type: time
but with gaps mostly suppresed. Added DETIME to both to
define what constitutes a gap.
Moved nowhere.
16357. January 23, 2026 VPLOT, TEPLT, SNPLT Eric
Added to VPLOT the X axis type of time with gaps. Changed
VPLOT and SNPLT to have a second type with gaps where the
first type does not label tick marks in the middle of gaps
and the second type does. The labeling on such axes is
difficult; it is better to have 2 choices.
Moved nowhere.
16358. January 26, 2026 EXTLIST, PLGET, VPLOT Eric
Changed AU2A (PLGET) for new number of adverbs in SNPLT and
TEPLT. Changed AU8A (EXTLIST) for changes in SNPLT, TEPLT,
and VPLOT. Changed VPLOT to reset BPARM(1) before plot
file creation and noted that BPARM(4) and (5) do not work
for the new times axes (but TIMERANG does).
Moved nowhere.
16359. January 29, 2026 time adverbs Eric
Looked at all usages of DETIME and created two new adverbs
EXTIME and TIMLIMIT. Changed POPSDAT and NEWPARMS to create
them and edited EXTIME, TIMLIMIT, DETIME and SOLINT help
files for changed usages. Changed ALLDEST, AIPSC, ALBUS,
CLNUP, NOBAT, PLAYR, and VLANT to use TIMLIMIT. Changed
BSMAP and RLDLY to use SOLINT, DISKU to use PRTIME, and
OFLAG, OTFBS and OTFUV to use EXTIME. The previous SOLINT
in RLDLY is now more correctly called INTTIME.
Moved nowhere.
16360. January 29, 2026 WETHR Eric
Change DETIME to EXTIME, added XAXIS with 4 values, and
DETIME to be the minimum time interval to be called a
"gap". Added 3 X axis plots with gaps and 3 levels of
labeling the X axis tick marks. Added code to decide the
number of ticks in a gap. That value increases with
the number of times not counting gaps and with gap time
intervals > 1 day and decrease with the number of gaps.
This number if always > 1 and < 11.
Moved nowhere.
16361. January 29, 2026 TEPLT, SNPLT, VPLOT Eric
Added a third level of gap tick labeling to do not labels
in gaps. Added code to compute the number of ticks in a
gap described above.
Moved nowhere.
16362. February 2, 2026 SNBLP et al. Eric
Added 3 times axes with gaps as X axis options. Improved
logic plotting the descriptive string and some corner of
each strip in SNBLP, TEPLT, SNPLT, and WETHER. Minor
adjustements in VPLOT also. Changed AU2A (PLGET) and AU8A
(EXTLIST) for changes in WETHR and VPLOT.
Moved nowhere.
16363. February 3, 2026 TABED Eric
Changed counting of records processed. Previously flagged
records were reported as if they were flagged in the current
run.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16364. February 6, 2026 RLDLY Eric
Changed AVERT to handle the situation where baseline
numbers in the BLCODE call sequence array contain only
one antenna rather than two. RLDLY with REFANT=0 did
this. Changed RLDLY in 31DEC26 only to refer to adverb
INTTIME rather than DETIME.
Moved AVERT to 31DEC25.
16365. February 9, 2026
TEPLT to reset X axis if no gaps are found and adjust gap
handling a little. Color algorithm adjsted.
SNPLT as TEPLT plus correct axis labeling.
WETHR correct variable name. Adjust gap handling and color
algorithm.
SNBLP adjust gap handling and color algorithm. Drop unused
BCOUNT and correct help file.
VPLOT correct plotting to account for phases outside plot until
corrected by 360. Add coloring by source. Adjust gap
handling and color algorithm. Also help file.
Moved nowhere.
16366. February 9, 2026 BPPLT, ANBPL Eric
Add the 3 X axis with gaps axes. Add DETIME to help file to
set the gap interval. Add coloring by source to ANBPL.
Changed both help files.
Moved nowhere.
16367. February 9, 2026 EXTLIST, PLGET Eric
Updated number of parameters in AU2A (PLGET) and AU8A
(EXTLIST) for changes in the plot tasks above.
Moved nowhere.
16368. February ??, 2026

16346. December 16, 2025 CLPLT, CAPLT Eric
Changed the computation of error bars from an assumption that
data weights are fully calibrator in 1/Jy^2. The new
computation uses the scatter in the data over the SOLINT
interval and hence requires that SOLINT be at least several
times the input integration time. Correct formulae are used
for the amplitude and phase functions' error computation.
Then the uncertainty is divided by the sqrt of the number of
samples - 1 to put the errors as "expected error".
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16347. December 22, 2025 EXTAB Eric
Corrected time format by adding a leading '0' when the seconds
are less than 9.95. Was blank before.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16348. December 29, 2025 Plot labels, PRPLT Eric
Changed CLAB1, CLAB2, IAXIS1, and TVLAB to put one and only one
blank character between the prefix and the axis label. This
should read better. Changed PRPLT to improve the positioning
of the labels. The top label was too close to the top plot
and the multiple panel plots did not leave enough room for the
labels. Fix DOPROFIL info in PRPLT help.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16349. December 29, 2025 AIPSLetter Eric
The AIPSLetter for 31DEC25 is done. Saved in $AIPSPUBL the
TEX, PDF, and PS.gz versions. The straight ps file is nearly
3 Mbytes.
Moved everywhere in $AIPSPUBL.
16350. January 2, 2026 EVLA corrections Eric
Took the file maintained by the analysts of corrections to
EVLA antenna locations and saved it in AIPS as $AIPSTARS
file EVLA.ant.2025. Also made a dummy VLA.ant.2025 in
$AIPSTARS. Made a new 2026 file for the analysts.
Moved everywhere in $AIPSTARS.
16351. January 2, 2026 RLCAL Eric
Moved test on whether a model is provided outside the IF
clause for single-source files. The model is required for
multi- as well as single-source files. Added a test after
the visibilities are copied to make sure that something
was copied.
Moved nowhere.
16352. January 14, 2026 ALBUS Eric
Corrected # adverbs. AVERSION, PROGRAM, some of STATIONS
were lost.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16353. January 16, 2026 KNTR Eric
Subroutine FXLEVS used by all contour tasks tried to read
an extra plane of data when CBCORN=5 in KNTR. That should
and did fail.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16354. January 16, 2026 TORMAT Eric
Made TORMAT an $APLSUB subroutine. Removed it from TVFLG,
SPFLG, FTFLG, and PCFLG.
Moved nowhere.
16355. January 20, 2026 VLBARUN, VLBAPIPE Eric
Changed the RUN files and help files to handle OUTFILE
blank more correctly. They were still trying to print
messages to a directory that was not created properly.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16356. January 22, 2026 TEPLT, SNPLT Eric
Changed TEPLT and SNPLT to offer another X axis type: time
but with gaps mostly suppresed. Added DETIME to both to
define what constitutes a gap.
Moved nowhere.
16357. January 23, 2026 VPLOT, TEPLT, SNPLT Eric
Added to VPLOT the X axis type of time with gaps. Changed
VPLOT and SNPLT to have a second type with gaps where the
first type does not label tick marks in the middle of gaps
and the second type does. The labeling on such axes is
difficult; it is better to have 2 choices.
Moved nowhere.
16358. January 26, 2026 EXTLIST, PLGET, VPLOT Eric
Changed AU2A (PLGET) for new number of adverbs in SNPLT and
TEPLT. Changed AU8A (EXTLIST) for changes in SNPLT, TEPLT,
and VPLOT. Changed VPLOT to reset BPARM(1) before plot
file creation and noted that BPARM(4) and (5) do not work
for the new times axes (but TIMERANG does).
Moved nowhere.
16359. January 29, 2026 time adverbs Eric
Looked at all usages of DETIME and created two new adverbs
EXTIME and TIMLIMIT. Changed POPSDAT and NEWPARMS to create
them and edited EXTIME, TIMLIMIT, DETIME and SOLINT help
files for changed usages. Changed ALLDEST, AIPSC, ALBUS,
CLNUP, NOBAT, PLAYR, and VLANT to use TIMLIMIT. Changed
BSMAP and RLDLY to use SOLINT, DISKU to use PRTIME, and
OFLAG, OTFBS and OTFUV to use EXTIME. The previous SOLINT
in RLDLY is now more correctly called INTTIME.
Moved nowhere.
16360. January 29, 2026 WETHR Eric
Change DETIME to EXTIME, added XAXIS with 4 values, and
DETIME to be the minimum time interval to be called a
"gap". Added 3 X axis plots with gaps and 3 levels of
labeling the X axis tick marks. Added code to decide the
number of ticks in a gap. That value increases with
the number of times not counting gaps and with gap time
intervals > 1 day and decrease with the number of gaps.
This number if always > 1 and < 11.
Moved nowhere.
16361. January 29, 2026 TEPLT, SNPLT, VPLOT Eric
Added a third level of gap tick labeling to do not labels
in gaps. Added code to compute the number of ticks in a
gap described above.
Moved nowhere.
16362. February 2, 2026 SNBLP et al. Eric
Added 3 times axes with gaps as X axis options. Improved
logic plotting the descriptive string and some corner of
each strip in SNBLP, TEPLT, SNPLT, and WETHER. Minor
adjustements in VPLOT also. Changed AU2A (PLGET) and AU8A
(EXTLIST) for changes in WETHR and VPLOT.
Moved nowhere.
16363. February 3, 2026 TABED Eric
Changed counting of records processed. Previously flagged
records were reported as if they were flagged in the current
run.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16364. February 6, 2026 RLDLY Eric
Changed AVERT to handle the situation where baseline
numbers in the BLCODE call sequence array contain only
one antenna rather than two. RLDLY with REFANT=0 did
this. Changed RLDLY in 31DEC26 only to refer to adverb
INTTIME rather than DETIME.
Moved AVERT to 31DEC25.
16365. February 9, 2026
TEPLT to reset X axis if no gaps are found and adjust gap
handling a little. Color algorithm adjsted.
SNPLT as TEPLT plus correct axis labeling.
WETHR correct variable name. Adjust gap handling and color
algorithm.
SNBLP adjust gap handling and color algorithm. Drop unused
BCOUNT and correct help file.
VPLOT correct plotting to account for phases outside plot until
corrected by 360. Add coloring by source. Adjust gap
handling and color algorithm. Also help file.
Moved nowhere.
16366. February 9, 2026 BPPLT, ANBPL Eric
Add the 3 X axis with gaps axes. Add DETIME to help file to
set the gap interval. Add coloring by source to ANBPL.
Changed both help files.
Moved nowhere.
16367. February 9, 2026 EXTLIST, PLGET Eric
Updated number of parameters in AU2A (PLGET) and AU8A
(EXTLIST) for changes in the plot tasks above.
Moved nowhere.
16368. February ??, 2026

16335. December 1, 2025 Code rollover Eric
Changed $APLSUB/GETRLS.FOR. $INSUNIX/INSTEP1,
$SYSPERL/install.pl, $SYSPERL/update.pl, $SYSPERL/ZXHLP2.PL,
$SYSPERL/LaCook.PL, $SYSPERL/AIPSHELP, $UPDUNIX/UPDCONTROL,
$SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH.CSH, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH.SH
$SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH1.CSH, $SYSUNIX/AIPSPATH1.SH
to make 31DEC26 instead of 31DEC25 - also fix dates in
install.pl and update.pl.
Moved nowhere.
16336. December 5, 2025 CVS Eric
Removed more references to cvs from install.pl ans MAKE.MNJ.
Most were already limited to COAOARN or commented out.
Moved nowhere.
16337. December 4-5 AIPS web site Eric
Reviewed the files on the AIPS web site and updated several.
Created new web page and data area for VLBAPIPE and updated
the VLBARUN files.
16338. December 10, 2025 NEWPARMS Eric
Changing OFMGET and OFMSAVE to pseudo verbs in a RUN file
does not work. Removed those two lines. This means COMPRESS
is much better than RUN NEWPARMS.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16339. December 10, 2025 CATALOG Eric
Changed AU3 and help file to drop INTYPE. It frequently causes
issues so it was not include in CAT2LOG et al. Changed INTYPE
help as well.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16340. December 10, 2025 PRPLT Eric
PRPLT forgot to set XYRATIO to some sort of default so XYRATIO
=0 caused a failure. Changed GINITL to trap this and set it to
1.0 on DOTV false or to the TV window ratio. Changed PRPLT
also to adjust the top text position and set XYRATIO.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16341. December 10, 2025 GREYS Eric
Added DPARM to control the profile plots with (1) and (2)
controling size and (3)-(6) controling pixrange. Changed to
use the same metric scaling throughout. Added units strings
when a profile on the top is plotted.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16342. December 10, 2025 CLCAL Eric
Added a string on each SOURCES and CALSOUR history line saying
omitted or included. This information is already in the HI
file but some people do not read.
Moved nowhere.
16343. December 11, 2025 CLPLT Eric
Made printing to OUTTEXT a separate subroutine done before
plots so that stopping plots does not cut off the printing.
Corrected feature in which it lost the last sample which is
very bad when there is only one sample. Changed to plot
scaling to let it show more detail.
Moved to 31DEC25 on 12 December.
16344. December 12, 2025 Misc Eric
In GREYS, corrected units label at the bottom and position of
the label to right of top profile. IN CLPLT added antenna
numbers to the print out at the top of each triangle.
Changed number of adverbs in GREYS in subroutines AU2A (PLGET)
and AU8A (extlist).
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16345. December 15, 2025 CAPLT Eric
Added DOPRINT and OUTTEXT to CAPLT and added a subroutine to
print the values ahead of the subroutine to plot them. That
means that the full print is done even when the user stops
the plotting after a page or two.
Moved to 31DEC25 this date.
16346. December 16, 2025 CLPLT, CAPLT Eric
Changed the computation of error bars from an assumption that
