Is this the same Andy Loughe who used to work at NOAA!?
I'd say RSI must finally be getting their act together to
get this kind of comment from THAT Andy Loughe. :-)

Cheers,

P.S. Did you see Scott Lett's comments yesterday that there
would be MEAN, VARIANCE, STDEV, etc. routines in IDL 5.1?
Is it just my imagination or is RSI really starting to
pay closer attention to what customers want and need?

By the way, I've been writing object-oriented programs
this week and I am absolutely blown away by how powerful,
flexible, and simple these programs can be. This is the best
thing RSI has EVER added to IDL with the exception of widgets.
If you haven't yet tried to write an OOP program, give it
a go. I guarantee you will be impressed with it.

(I'm not talking about the object graphics class library,
which is much more difficult to learn. But just writing
programs as objects with their own methods, etc. I spent the
last two days writing a plot object that uses direct graphics
calls. It does things that I didn't think were possible
in IDL! And every time I make it do something else, I get
about 10 new ideas for something ELSE it can do. I like it.)
