Good point.

Archiving of posts in a searchable form (via Google) is one of the big
reasons for using Usenet.

I can't see any problem with posting ENVI-related stuff to
comp.lang.idl-pvwave. As a user of IDL but not ENVI, the ENVI stuff is
seldom of interest to me, but that's OK. If ENVI posts always have
"ENVI" in the subject line (which they often do) then I can just ignore
them.
> P.S.S. Whats up with comp.lang.idl --> is this not for IDL programming?
Yes, where "IDL" means "Interface Definition Language", not "Interactive
Data Language". Quite unrelated. Is there any reader of
comp.lang.idl-pvwave who has ever used the former?
> What is "pvwave" anyway?
PV-Wave from Visual Numerics--see www.vni.com. Used to be very similar
to IDL, less so now.

Heh -- I made a usenet group WAY back in 1991 and it took me FOREVER to set
it up -- do you still have to send some weirdly formatted email to the
Usenet gods someplace to beg for a usenet group? I'm sure there are easier
ways to do it nowadays, but the listserv setup from my university took all
of 20 seconds to create.
There used to be (still is?) an RSI ENVI listserv, but I got messages
bounced from it a couple of times recently, and haven't received any emails
from it in forever. On top of that, I don't think they archived the posts,
so there was no way to go back and look stuff up (thank you google!) They
have an online forum that is pretty much impossible to find from their
website, so no one uses it. Ah well!

P.S. I sense some issues with ENVI posts here -- it IS an IDL add-on after
all!

What is "pvwave" anyway?

I guess I wasn't aware you had to be a user to make off-topic
posts. Now that I think about it, maybe that explains a few
things around here. :-)

Yeah, but you're not an ENVI user (are you?). That should reduce the
number of off-topic posts by 90%.

Just curious (I'm not an ENVI user myself) but why not a Usenet newsgroup?
