It would be a race probably to see if the computer
would show up before my software. :-(
But I prefer installation problems on Windows to graphics problems
on Macs. At least if the damn thing isn't installed you have an
explanation for why you don't see anything on the display. :-)
Cheers,
David

Sure, David - Buy a Mac G5 - I guarantee no problems for at least a month or
so (since that is the backlog for shipping!). I'll be interested in speed
comparisons from any of you who might be early recipients of a G5.

David,
if it comforts you, the download installer worked fine on my W2k machine.
So, there is hope!

Hi Andrew. You finally got your license file? That wasn't long at all.
I'm still waiting for mine. When you have a site license the onus falls on
the site admin who in our case isn't very responsive :(
But, in 6.0b STRSPLIT() works fine. Are your paths set up correctly?
STRSPLIT is written in IDL so you should be able to find it in the lib dir.

Well, hard to say. I wanted to un-install the IDL 6.0 beta
before I did the official installation, but for some reason
the normal un-install process didn't work. (Although the
un-install wizard reported no errors and appeared to
finish normally. But nothing was un-installed.)
So I thought, "Well, sod that!" and I deleted all the
beta files manually and used Registry Medic to fix up
all the dangling references in the Registry.
Then I tried to do the installation (from files
I downloaded from the RSI web page, since my CD
has still not turned up). At the moment it goes
off to do the installation, the install wizard
reports an "Internal Error 2711. IDL Shortcuts".
This, followed immediately by "Error 1603. Fatal
error during installation."
I've spent a couple of hours trying various things
(including getting my IDL 5.6 installation hopelessly
tangled by making bad decisions in REGEDIT). I've got
all that sorted out now and IDL 5.6 is back to behaving
properly, but still no joy with IDL 6.0.
The same general approach worked perfectly on my
other Windows machine.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
David

STRSPLIT works as normal on my system (IDL 6.0, Windows 2000).
Andrew, could you have another strsplit.pro that's bullied its way ahead
of the RSI one on your path?
David, what's the installation problem on Win 2000? Or is it too painful
to talk about?

I find it in my IDL 6.0 Windows XP installation in
the usual place: RSI/IDL60/lib.
I haven't been able to get IDL 6.0 to install yet
on my Windows 2000 machine, so I can't help you
there. :-(

David
