Hi all,
is it only me, or the "search" function of the newsgroup doesn't
work ?
Results of the searches seems to be limited to the last couple of
months (e.g., if I search for "histogram" I only get 6 results.... I
don't believe that this can be correct ;-) )

In a related note: check out the "IDL Search" box on the upper right
hand corner on my website: michaelgalloy.com. This is a Google custom
search of the most common sites for finding IDL information: David's
site, this newsgroup, the IDL 6.4 online help, etc.

Tell me about it! I had to start my web page just
to separate the wheat from the chaff. :-(
Cheers,
