There is an anonymous ftp site at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory
in Laurel, MD. I wouldn't exactly call this an archive site since at present
it contains only IDL code which originated at JHU/APL and was predominantly
written by Ray Sterner with a miniscule amount by myself. The code consists of
several hundred general purpose routines, most with built-in help. These
routines were written in IDL but most will probably work in PV-WAVE as well.

To access the site, ftp to fermi.jhuapl.edu and log in as user anonymous. For
the password enter your full e-mail address; eg. mine would be
gotwols@warper.jhuapl.edu. Next cd to idl-pvwave/jhuapl. There is a readme file
that gives further details. The code has been packaged two ways: in compressed
tar format for UNIX users and in compressed LZW format for VMS users. A
decompression program for the VMS users is also available at this site.

We would be happy if other IDL/PV-WAVE users would deposit their precious code
at this site. There is an incoming directory for this purpose. So far it
is empty of IDL/PV-WAVE code since we haven't advertised this possibility due
to other commitments taking up our time. How we would organize the
contributions will depend on what shows up.
