I had the pleasure of seeing the circa 1988 IDL DOS PC (Alpha)
version running yesterday. Still plugging away, acquiring
data from 7 pin-hole cameras talking pictures of the
heart. (The gated blood pool images of the heart distributed
with IDL came from these early research results, I believe.)

I'd have to vote for that as the most stable alpha version
of IDL of all time. :-)

Cheers,

David
