Happy Reasons to use IDL 8.1 [message #76218]

Folks,

I've discovered another happy reason to love IDL 8.1
this morning. I couldn't figure out why a main-level
program wouldn't compile. It didn't like this line:

img = Image(image, ...)

Apparently, you can't define an image variable with
the name "image" and then use it as the argument
to the Image function.

I find it hard to believe. But just renaming my
image variable to "bob" solved the problem. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say that something is going to have
to be done about IDL name space soon, or IDL is going
to become unusable. It may already be unusable for
many SolarSoft users. :-(
