RE: [linrad] Linrad installation and first impressions

Hi Joe and all,

Linrad should never crash with a segmentation fault.
Whenever you see it happen it is because of a bug of some
kind.

There are however several ways for Linrad to exit with 
error messages because I found it too complicated to take 
care of some problems properly within Linrad. These 
error messages should tell you how to solve problems
like the one with a too wide filter.
