I'm not surprised: I've not used JAS3 for about 2 years!

I think JAS is a dead application which was never any good in the forst 
place, and AIDA is a semi-dead format, so just use make-plots and 
friends instead: the output is nicer, variable-width bins are supported, 
and the "dat" format is easily read and customised.
