Folks (and Mike),

I ran into an unusual problem today. I was running IDL 8.1
in front of a client, naturally, and XStretch failed with
the message:

% Keyword DIMENSION not allowed in call to: MOMENT

The traceback lead me to the VARIANCE command, and
FILE_WHICH pointed me to the MOMENT program in the
IDL 8.1 distribution (where VARIANCE was coming from, too),
which upon inspection certainly did have a DIMENSION
keyword defined for it.

Say what!?

It turned out that a compiled version of MOMENT was
coming from the IDLDOC 3.4.1 save file. I found it
with HELP, /SOURCE:

MOMENT C:\IDL\idldoc-3.4\idldoc-3.4.1\idldoc.sav

I'm not sure what to do about this, except do all
my documentation work late at night, after work. :-)

Cheers,

David

Thanks, Mike. Looks good!

I'd just like to reiterate what Wayne said the other day.
I really appreciate all the work you have done,
and continue to do, to make this available to us.
It is really amazing software. Thanks!

Cheers,

David
