Is there IDL v7.0 help online? [message #66526]

Hi All,

I'm suffering from the following problem:
http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4395#patch
and our IT guru hasn't yet heard back from ITTVIS about the patch.

So, in the interim I was wondering if there is a URL containing the IDL Online Help that
is, well, online? And searchable.

A cursory search of the ITTVIS website only yielded the (quite largish) PDF files of the
various references/guides.

cheers,

paulv

Exactly the same amount as I pay for the similar service from matlab.
It's included in the maintenance fees we pay them. B-)

How much would you be willing to pay for it. ;-)

Cheers,

Thank you Bruce.

Oh, by the way, lest anyone think I'm too much of a curmudgeonly bugger about this stuff,
I'm actually being creative. See the creative tip #1, "Embrace your inner grouch", at:
http://www.newscientist.com/special/creativity

(Rationalisation can take many forms..... :o)

I'm off to partake in creative tip #8......

:o)

cheers,
