Hi David, it works fine for me on Mac OSX 10.3.9, with IDL 6.0 and 6.1.

Hi David,
This works for me using your linked version of XSTRETCH. I am on Mac OS
10.3.9
IDL> print, !VERSION
{ ppc darwin unix Mac OS X 6.2 Jun 20 2005 32 32}
IDL> xstretch, bytscl(hanning(300,300))
% Compiled module: HANNING.
% Compiled module: XSTRETCH.
% Compiled module: LOADCT.
% Compiled module: FILEPATH.
% Compiled module: PATH_SEP.
% Compiled module: TVIMAGE.
% Compiled module: XMANAGER.
I can't tell what the problem might be from this end. Are you having
this problem from the command line or from within a managed routine?

When has "everyone" ever agreed on anything? I just wish more people
would agree with the right choice (mine :-} ).

Long live Linux!

Windows users have been taught by M$ to expect to upgrade and to expect
it a lot. Mac users are conditioned to think that Macs are perfect and
so it doesn't make sense to upgrade something that's already perfect.
