JHU/APL/S1R IDL anonymous ftp site update notice
The last update was made on 1996 Dec 24.
The previous update was made on 1996 Jan 16.

fermi.jhuapl.edu IDL library ftp site description

Purpose of this ftp site
------------------------
This ftp site contains several JHU/APL/S1R IDL libraries.

The library routines fall into the following broad categories:
Text Files, Text strings, Date & time routines, Information,
Plotting/Graphics, Imaging, Array processing, Math, Programming,
Widget tools, Library maintenance and documentation, and Miscellanious.
One demonstration library is currently included for the eqv routine.

Accessing the ftp site
----------------------
By a web broswer: ftp://fermi.jhuapl.edu/pub/idl/

By ftp (Make sure you use ftp, not telnet):
ftp fermi.jhuapl.edu
For Name type: anonymous
For Password enter: your email address (ex: sterner@tesla.jhuapl.edu).
Change directory by entering: cd pub/idl
Set the correct transfer type: ascii (for README, cat.one, doc_guide.txt)
or binary (for the *.Z files).
To get a file enter: get filename
When finished enter: bye.

Get the ascii file README (~7.8k byte) for a guide to this ftp site.
You may also want to get the one line description file cat.one (~35kb).

What's New in the Dec 1996 JHU/APL/S1R IDL library update
---------------------------------------------------------
A few little used routines were dropped from the IDLUSR library.
See the file whats_new_96dec.txt on the ftp site for info on
bug fixes and new routines. The list is somewhat long because
of the long time since the last update, so it's not included here.

The PC directory contains the old library and is best ignored for
now. It was made by Bruce Gotwols to make the software more easily
available to PCs. I intend to revise this entire site at some point
and give better support for PCs and Macs (and also make more frequent
updates).
