Important Note from Wes: One suggestion I would make since it has caused us lots of trouble in the past is to use \texttt{your text here} rather than the {\tt your text here} construct (Also \textem{}, \textbf{}, etc..} It's much easier for us to spot those missing }'s. Also I believe we have \aipspp defined so whenever you want AIPS++ use the \aips2pp
