Does there exist one?

That's the first place I looked but the directory doesn't even exist!
Perhaps arrangements could be made to deal with this apparent
oversight. Thanks for the other pointers, though. Much appreciated.

The FAQ is available in HTML format from URL

ftp://fermi.jhuapl.edu/www/s1r/idl/idl_faq/idl_faq.html

You should also be able to find it in plain text form from

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/comp/lang/idl-pvw ave/

another useful source of information is RSI's home page at

http://sslab.colorado.edu:2222/projects/IDL/idl_ssl_home.htm l

The current IDL FAQ may be found at:

ftp://fermi.jhuapl.edu/www/s1r/idl/idl_faq/idl_faq.html

The same URL also has a plain text version (both compressed
and uncompressed).

I believe the most recent FAQ is at
http://www.ivsoftware.com/fom/IDL/public/fom-serve/cache/1.h tml

which seems to have been most recently updated around June 2000. Still,
for FAQ about IDL programming, my first stop would be David Fanning's
"IDL Programming Tips & Tricks" page at
http://www.dfanning.com/documents/tips.html and my second stop would be to
check the comp.lang.idl-pvwave archives on Google. My third stop would
be to check the IDL Tech Tips page at
http://www.rsinc.com/services/prodspec.cfm?product=ID . Eventually, I
might check an IDL Library search page, such as the one at
http://www.astro.washington.edu/deutsch/idl/htmlhelp/index.h tml , and
then an annotated list of IDL libraries such as the one I keep at
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/other_url.html

It is not a FAQ, of course, but all of the Tips on
my web page were the result of questions asked on
this newsgroup at least a dozen times before I got
around to answering them. :-)
