Yes, this is *extremely* common on UNIX machines, in
particular. I don't know why. It's not uncommon, when
I am tracking a problem for someone, to find 4-5 versions
of the Coyote Library on someone's IDL path.
We should have a seminar on how to set up an IDL
path and get updates when they are available! :-)
Mark Piper, how about it? This would be an excellent
topic for one of your excellent hour-long seminars!
Cheers
David

Also very useful from the solarsoft library
is "which.pro"
ftp://sohoftp.nascom.nasa.gov/solarsoft/gen/idl/help/which.p ro
IDL>which,'mrdfits',/all
[...]/ssw/gen/idl/fits/mrdfits.pro
[...]/ssw/gen/idl_libs/astron/fits/mrdfits.pro
This program will print the paths to *all* the
programs named mrdfits.pro (for very popular
programs I sometimes get 3 or 4 hits).
Then you just have to figure which of the 3 ones
you really really want to use (oten they are identical,
sometimes not).
Ciao,

Check! It's now on the list. This would help me, too, because I've
been confused by the many different ways to set path, as well as the
precedence of these different ways. Maybe we could discuss what
particular topics should go into this webinar?
