Did I miss out on something funny? Bring me up to date if you please. I
am sitting here in Northern Sweden for the second month and really need
some of David's humor to survive. I am not hoping to add anything worth
reading to the newsgroup anymore :-(

Cheers,
Pavel

Well, you dug yourself in quite deep - so I cancelled my followup..
However, my draft included a statment along the lines of ".....is
used by scientists, while engineers use..."

Now I'll stop.

Oh, Stein Vidar, it is *s-o-o-o* nice to have you back!

Finally someone who understands and can translate my
supposedly humorous remarks. Any chance you can bail
me out of this Matlab/PV-Wave mess I've gotten myself
into. :-(

I think (hope?) David Fanning was trying to say "Stop using your
secret decoder ring when posting messages". It produces messages that
look like the one below, when viewed with any of the perfectly good
news clients that don't do HTML.. I've taken the liberty to "destroy"
the html tags in the reply to be sure that you see approximately how
this appears on my screen...Pretty unreadable, right?

So, when posting to this newsgroup, *I* for one would very much like
to see people turn off HTML formatting of their messages...

Also, I couldn't quite find any IDL stuff on the web page..?

That is as unlikely as it will warm up above 0F outside here, I am
afraid.

I know now. I read the Matlab thread. Oh, boy. I was so tempted to write
to it. But it keeps growing at a scary rate even without me. I see you
all folks are all on 5.3 now. My boss brought me a disk with 5.3 here,
too. When I asked, what the key to the software is, he said "What
key?"... Guess how useful that CD is to me now. The 7-min demo mode is
still available, though :-)

Cheers,
Pavel

Whoops, sorry. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes.
I realized Sweden was different from Norway (especially
after I had enjoyed that Oslo hospitality), but from
where I live the "land of darkness" is anywhere "up there". :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I remember trudging back from the
University to my hotel room in the dark and drizzle
about this time of year. :-)

Uhm. I believe Pavel wrote *Sweden*, not Norway... Might not be a big
deal to you, but I'll let it pass just this once, since you called it
"the land of darkness" >:-)
