I wanted to follow this up with a sincere apology to Mark Goosman.
It is important that everyone know that his reply to me was a
personal communication, and he did not intend to have it posted
for the world to see.
After a discussion with him I realize that I should have responded
to him personally, and then perhaps posted the results of this
exchange. Posting his reply without his permission was a serious
breach of netiquette and I apologize.
After talking with Mark I have a better idea of how hard it is for
RSI to prioritize development efforts given limited resources. And
to be fair, I am much happier having support for Dicom, unsigned
integers, etc. etc. in IDL 5.2 than I would have been with a
GUI builder for my Unix box.
Sincerely,
David Foster
