Hmmmm... well, I'm pretty sure I'm using a standard version of IDL,
not some ancient version. It's a piece of code that I just call with
"progname,input1,input2", etc. Maybe it's doing something funny with
memory allocation, I'll have to check with people who know more about
it and get back to you..... so is there a way to empty the program
code area? :)
