Please, let's not get started on proper programming
technique.

It was my "pleasure" yesterday to work with some IDL programs
distributed with TRMM data. Yikes!

Let's just say there are probably a few more people
out there who ought to help Liam and me get rich by
buying an IDL programming book. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. In the TRMM folks defense, these programs were
fairly old by software standards. But still, let's
try to avoid writing programs that work only on the
computer the programmer happens to have on his/her
desk. Long live device/color/computer independence!!
