Reimar, sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean to disparage
your program at all. I'm sure it is useful. I was simply
following up Paul's tongue-in-cheek (I assume) comment with
one that was even more flippant.

My point was only that when people ask about compiling
IDL programs, *most* of the time (and there have been
one or two exceptions in my 12 years of monitoring this
newsgroup) they are completely misunderstanding how IDL
works.

I've never compiled an IDL program in my life, unless
I was making a run-time IDL application. But I am
*certain* there are good reasons for it. I've just
never encountered them in my limited experience.

(Although I have a feeling I'm going to hear about
these reasons very soon now. :-)

Cheers,

David
