Hi.

I was just wondering if any one has written an IDL combination function?
i.e., to return a random list of 'r' elements (or their indexes) from 'n'
objects available. For example, if I have 100 stations, and I want to
choose 10 of them at random, but without repitition, then the function
should return a list of 10 random unique station numbers.

Should be simple to write, but it's time to go home.

Cheers.
