After putting the first alpha version of an Answer Tool for IDL on our ftp I've got
a lot of messages. Some people asked me what's about the idlmeteo library
directory which was empty. There is now a first collection of general functions
and procedures available. Below the README.

IDLMETEO LIBRARY 0.1a 1 july 1993
The idlmeteo library is currently just a collection of
useful general functions and procedures from different
internet and our own sources. Specific meteorological stuff
will be our next aim.
1) Overview
If you want to have a short overview of what is currently in the
idlmeteo library take the file idlmeteo.help.Z in this
directory and install it in the IDL subdir help:
ftp ftp.sma.ch
user: anonymous
password: <your email address>
cd /pub/idlmeteo/idlmeteo-library
bin
get idlmeteo.help.Z
quit
uncompress idlmeteo.help
cp idlmeteo.help "$IDL_DIR"/help
rm idlmeteo.help
start IDL:
IDL> ?
You will now have a topic idlmeteo
If you think the functions and procedures could be
useful for you too, feel free to take them and
to install it in "$IDL_DIR"/lib :
ftp ftp.sma.ch (141.249.3.33)
user: anonymous
password: <your email address>
cd /pub/idlmeteo/idlmeteo-library
bin
get idlmeteo.tar.Z
quit
cd "$IDL_DIR"/lib
zcat idlmeteo.tar | tar xvfo -
rm idlmeteo.tar
2) Enhanced online help (Answer Tool)
As you see there are about 1820 functions and procedures
included the procedures of the IDL distribution.
To be able to get quickly information of what is already available
for a topic we wrote an new superset over the IDL help file
online system, which allows to create efficient database like
select statements.
This "Answer Tool" is also available on our ftp site, as default
it contains only the procedures and functions in the XDR saved
database table 'ia_data.sav'.
-> Note to have also the functions
and procedures of the idlmeteo library
you have either to copy the 'ia_data.sav' table
from "$IDL_DIR"/lib/idlmeteo/data to the directory
where you have installed the "Answer Tool" or to
change the path in the iatool startup script to
to access the database table in "$IDL_DIR"/lib/idlmeteo/data.
To get the "Answer Tool" do the following:
ftp ftp.sma.ch (141.249.3.33)
user: anonymous
password: <your email address>
cd /pub/idlmeteo
bin
get IATOOL_0.1a.tar.Z
quit
zcat IATOOL_0.1a.tar.Z | tar xvof -
rm IATOOL_0.1a.tar
cd IATOOL
cp "$IDL_DIR"/lib/idlmeteo/data/ia_data.sav ia_data.sav
./iatool
