Sorry if this is a FAQ. I saw reference to ftp archives of PV~WAVE and IDL routines. Could anyone knowing about these E-mail me the info about the location of these archives plus info on how to use the archives. I'll post a summary of the info get Thanks in advance, John Black Janet: jvb@uk.mod.hermes Internet: jvb%hermes.mod.uk@relay.mod.uk PS. Is there a FAQ list for this newsgroup?

There is an anonymous ftp site at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD. I wouldn't exactly call this an archive site since at present it contains only IDL code which originated at JHU/APL and was predominantly written by Ray Sterner with a miniscule amount by myself. The code consists of several hundred general purpose routines, most with built-in help. These routines were written in IDL but most will probably work in PV-WAVE as well. To access the site, ftp to fermi.jhuapl.edu and log in as user anonymous. For the password enter your full e-mail address; eg. mine would be gotwols@warper.jhuapl.edu. Next cd to idl-pvwave/jhuapl. There is a readme file that gives further details. The code has been packaged two ways: in compressed tar format for UNIX users and in compressed LZW format for VMS users. A decompression program for the VMS users is also available at this site. We would be happy if other IDL/PV-WAVE users would deposit their precious code at this site. There is an incoming directory for this purpose. So far it is empty of IDL/PV-WAVE code since we haven't advertised this possibility due to other commitments taking up our time. How we would organize the contributions will depend on what shows up. -- Bruce L.
