Dear Berengere,
      Looks like that you were using an old version Miriad (managed by
BIMA-CVS) which is only good for 2008 and older data. For data taken
2009 and later with the new doubleband system, you may need to download
a Miriad package for SMA data from our website
(http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/sma/miriad/download/).
We just made a new beta release (1.4.4) with binary installations for
Redhat (centOS) 6 and 5.
      Please let us know if you have any problems with the installation
and reduction of SMA data.
      Jun-Hui
