Well, flattery used to work with me, but I've got a real job
now. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. I've actually been thinking of building more programs
in object graphics, especially since it has been made
abundantly clear to me that we are never going to see decent
fonts in direct graphics (or anything else we want, for that
matter). But even with Revolution IDL to guide you, those
programs still take three times as long to write in IDL and
even I don't have that kind of leisure anymore.
