After further investigation overnight and this morning, I've
finally come to the conclusion that everyone using IDL on
a Mac should be shot. You're screwing up our lives! :-(

It turns out that our "UNIX" solution to finding the
"maximum" size window doesn't work for Macs. In fact,
NO solution works for Macs, except the tried and true
fudge factor solution.

Unless anyone can offer me hope, I'll change my article
appropriately. Maybe I'll program my MaxWindowSize program
to turn the fire alarm on if you call it from a Mac. :-)

Cheers,

David
