Non-sequiter. Fortran is in the public domain (or equivalent), and
produced by tens of developers, IDL is not, and produced by only one
company.

I wouldn't call helping users with problems, instead of letting them
flounder, 'commercial pandering', but I guess support, like beauty, is
in the eye of the beholder.

Here is an example of what I was referring to in the
comp.soft-sys.matlab group. Seems to me Mathworks' candor is
refreshing, what did you find wrong with them?

Since this might be of more general interest, I am posting to the group
as well as e-mailing directly to Craig.
The HELP entry for RBBOX is optimistic, but wrong.
[Rest of response deleted].

It was certainly a surprise to me to see such honesty by a vendor.
