Alright, enough time has passed that Seffen has
probably passed or failed the final. Here is
my take on what BYTSCL does:

FUNCTION Daves_Bytscl, array, Top=maxVal
minVal = 0.
IF N_Elements(maxVal) EQ 0 THEN maxVal = 255. ELSE maxVal = Float(maxVal)
minVec = Min(array, Max=maxVec)
sf = [((minVal * maxVec)-(maxVal * minVec)) / $
(maxVec - minVec), (maxVal - minVal) / (maxVec - minVec)]
RETURN, Byte(array*sf[1] + sf[0])
END

To test it:

IDL> array = Dist(150, 150)
IDL> Window, XSize=450, YSize=150
IDL> TV, array, 0
IDL> TV, Daves_BytScl(array), 1
IDL> TV, BytScl(array), 2

Cheers,

David
