Folks,

I not *really* advocating we all give up IDL for R,
but there are some things R does better than IDL. And,
I readily admit, there are a *ton* of things IDL does
better than R.

But R does show up in the strangest places these
days. Here is a site that came to my attention this
morning that has tips for astronomers.

http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/~ajrs/r-project.html

It might be worth having a look.

Cheers,

David
