Folks,
Have I mentioned that IDL 8.1 is a piece of work!?
This morning, I have IDL 8.1 running, along with the
IDL 8.1 on-line help, and a browser. When I type a
command in the IDL window that is *suppose* to summon
a widget program to the display, no widget program
appears. Instead, my browser window is popped to the
front of my IDL window with what looks like Japanese
characters in the browser title bar!
For God's sake!!
I mention this now because this weirdness is completely
reproducible at the moment, unlike other intermittent
oddities that continue to plague me with this miserable
excuse for software.
Yesterday, for example, as I was developing some
map projection software, I noticed that about
every 5th or 6th time I would run the program that
no graphics window would appear. No errors or anything
like that. Just no response whatsoever. If I issued
a Window command, then a window would appear and all
would act normally until another 5 or 6 minutes would
pass.
Very, very strange and irritating behavior. :-(
Cheers,
David
