AMAZING!!!!

I am extremely amazed and impressed at the increase in processing
speed that the changes made!!!!!!
I was not expecting such a change! Amazing how inefficient my program
was. Where was all the time going to? I mean, how come the for loops
made the program so slow whereas now...

I can`t thank you enough!
I managed to run a 3800 star file in under 11 minutes whereas before
it took over 24 hours. Now I am running a 9300 star file!
For the larger file I am using a dual processor computer with 1 Gb and
with 2400GHz each processor. The program sucks 99.8% of the CPU but
it is running.

I am also very surprised at how much memory is allocated to the IDL
processes. What I mean is that the whole computer would slow down
immensely, giving priority to IDL. Strange.

This is indeed a good introduction to this newsgroup! and to IDL.

Thanks Rob!
