Hi Folks, Before I say anything else, I want to say how much I have appreciated the support, patience, and--yes--even the prodding of so many of you on this newsgroup in my efforts to get this book finished. I greatly appreciate all of your help. Thank you very, very much. The good news is that the book is now available. I have the very first copy, hot off the press, sitting in my hands now. The first 200 will be available by the end of the week, which will allow me to process and ship all of my back orders this weekend. So if you ordered a book, it's on its way to you and you should expect it within the week. For those of you who are interested, you can learn more about the book, IDL Programming Techniques, by visiting my web page. I have a Table of Contents there in PDF format and I am working on having a sample chapter there as well. The URL is: http://www.dfanning.com/documents/books.html To express my gratitude to those of you who ordered books on my word that it would be finished, I will be taking a 25% discount off your order amount. For the rest of you, if you order a book before the end of the month and you put a note to the effect that you read the IDL newsgroup in the comment portion of the order form, I'll give you a 20% discount as well. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks again for all your help and patience.
