My latest organizational scheme for AIPS is to give each project a new AIPS data disk. I just spent some time adding a new data disk to my AIPS installation on my laptop. Here's what I did to get it. (BTW, I've got a MacBook, but that shouldn't matter for this.)
In $AIPS_ROOT, cd to DA00. Save a copy of the DADEVS.LIST file as DADEVS.LIST.old. Then edit the DADEVS.LIST. I just copied the first uncommented line (set up by AIPS) and incremented the data disk number by 1, i.e., LOCALHOST_2. Now save a copy of the NETSP file in the same directory to NETSP.old. Again, edit the file by copying the first uncommented line and incrementing the data disk number by 1. Finally, cd to $AIPS_ROOT/DATA, mkdir LOCALHOST_2 (or whatever your new data disk is named), cd to LOCALHOST_2, and create a file named SPACE (touch SPACE). Now when you start up AIPS you should have additional data disks available.
Most of this tip was taken from the AIPS Manager FAQ (see "How do I configure new AIPS data areas?").

AIPS Binary Downloads
Oh my god. Installing software on my new mac makes me feel like a complete idiot.
There are all these detailed websites about how to install aips on your mac, but NONE (not one!) of them link to the actualy binaries! Many of them mention that said binaries exist. I think they are available by ftp. Ftp to what, though, i ask you? Does anybody know how to download the aips binaries so i can get on with this installation nightmare?

TV Trouble?
Having trouble with your TV? If you're on a funny network setup, the AIPS TV display can run slow or refuse to open. Try starting AIPS with aips tv=local and see if that fixes the problem.
