Subject: Re: miriad on obsconh

Hello Jun-Hui, 

  When I start miriad, now I get following message; 

MIRIAD version < beta 1.4.5. 2012-06-28 for handling SMA 4GHz and 2GHz mode
data >  [CVS] loaded from MIR=/sma/local/miriad_cvs
  Optimized for telescope=sma

Is this 64bit version of miriad?  If so, I use 
that version instead of 32bit version.  
  So far, I no longer get similar error messages like 
the ones I reported.   So far so good, as long as 
vncserver is happy. :)

cheers,

Hiroko
