description: At some point, you might check out these websites for IDL code that is (very) useful. Astronomers/astrophysicists LOVE IDL, so they have written a bunch of stuff to make your life easier. Some good links... http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/other_url.html http://cow.physics.wisc.edu/~craigm/idl/idl.html I never found the books helpful (but thats just me...). The IDL help menu sucks (except if you have an early version), so here is a link to a list of all the IDL routines that you can search using your web browser. http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/idl_html_help/ Cheers, Matt
