I am sticking with IDL 4 because I don't have the time or interest
to figure out again (I've been doing this since version 2.?) what
home-grown routines must be re-written to handle RSI's incompatible
backwards-compatability! I laugh every time they come out with a
new version of the software and promise 100% backwards compatability.
We aren't idiots... or are we?!
