The .idl files are the output of a mhd code called NIRVANA
which is a software for numerical simulations in astrophysics.
They contain structured mesh data which has been transformed
into a single logically-rectangular grid in the 'IDL field
format', as it is called in the documentation. Any suggestions
how to make this data visible with IDL?
Thanks in advance. Andreas

Hallo Andreas,
ohne weitere Angaben ist das schwierig zu beantworten.
In idl gibt es keine Abh�ngigkeit wie unter Microsoft
zu irgendwelchen Datei-Erweiterungs-Namen.
Ein bischen mehr musst Du uns schon verraten.
Gruss

I recall being very confused when an American friend used "snipe hunt" to mean
a hunt for a mythical beast, a chase after something that doesn't exist,
a waste of time etc. I presume that is how David is using it here. However
in Europe the snipe is a real bird and I think that people may once have
hunted them. They would be very hard to hit on account of their low, fast,
ziz-zag flight, mind you.

It is likely that the files are in IDL's "save" format and the original
poster _may_ need nothing more than to be told to read up on the restore
command.

Do they have snipe hunts in Germany?
Go back to your boss and tell him to quit fooling
around and tell you something about what is *in*
these files so you have some chance of reading
them. :-)
Cheers,
David
