Interesting question I asked myself several times. From the discussion on this
list (and personal experience) it seems that PV-Wave development essentially
ceased, considering several bugs in the plotting routines that persist for 3
major versions. (You guessed it, I currently use PV-Wave). On the other hand
IDL seems to develop new functionality (object oriented..) which would be
quite interesting to use.

So my question goes in the same direction: is there a reason to use PV-Wave
instead of IDL besides the very comfortable way to use powerful mathematical
codes (namely the GT-Grid and IMSL numerical libraries)?

Hope someone who knows both systems can answer this... ;-)

Cheers

Martin
