You bet he will! ;-)
I have received *no* information about fixes to the contour routine.
My problem was using contour on top of an existing map that was drawn
using map_set. RSI was quick to identify that the problem was real,
but after about two months has not yet responded to my bug report with
a viable fix.
Is this kind of response typical with RSI?

There were a number of problems with the Contour command in the IDL 5
version. I'm told that these problems have been fixed (Andy Loughe
will let us know if this is not the case!) and will be available in
the IDL 5.0.1 release, which I'm told is scheduled for mid-August.
Cheers,
David
