Hey Dave,
IDL for VMS isn't "gone" as such, it still works, but just isn't going
to get past v5.4.
You're stuck in the ice just as much as we're stuck in the ionosphere,
or the NASA boys are stuck in orbit, or ...
Cheers,
Andrew

Yes VMS version is gone too so we are going to have a serious problem
shifting as we have wrapped DCL and Powerhouse around IDL for some heavily
used animal-tracking applications

I've heard tell the beta is seeding in a few weeks, <total speculation>
so end of summer is a probable final release </total speculation>. I
also wanted to apologize to RSI engineers for stating they had promised
to add the rebin functionality I mentioned in a previous post to v5.5.
In fact, they had merely included it among the feature requests.
Luckily, my posting drew their attention, and they coded it up
post-haste (not that this method is recommended -- remember the boy who
cried wolf). Thanks!
