'Nuff said.
Thanks - this is more info than I had before.
Don't any of you violate any non-disclosure agreement on my account.

I will say this about IDL 5.2 (whether I am suppose to
or not): if you work for NASA and you don't get this
upgrade you must be working in the backwaters and are
about to lose your funding. If this upgrade is not named
the "NASA upgrade" internally, then it ought to be. I can't
imagine a group of people better suited to using its new
functionality. Consider just file formats for a moment: TIFF++,
GeoTIFF, PNG, HDF+, HDF-EOS. That list, along with unsigned
integers, has to have NASA types drooling. :-)
Cheers,
David

Uh, oh. Let me check that beta test agreement and see if
I am suppose to be talking about this at all. :-(
I just let some beans spill because I think we REALLY
needed unsigned integers and I was thrilled to find
them. :-)
If I get the OK I might chat about the new GUI-builder.
There are lots of things I like about it. And a couple
of things I wish were there but aren't (yet).
Cheers,
David
