I use IDL and store data in XDR format using IDL's
save routine. However, I would like to pass my data
on to others who use PV-Wave. Does PV-Wave have a function
to restore, /XDR data similar to IDL?
Thanks,
Scott

To be fair, David, IDL 4.0.1 will read IDL 5.0B5 save files (with a
% RESTORE: Unexpected item code found in save file.
message, to be sure, but no dat aloss), and 5.0B5 appears to have no
trouble restoring 4.0.1 save files. Version 3/4 transfers, though, are
indeed, hopeless.
