here is a copy from a recent post by Mike Schienle who maintains the

<http://www.ivsoftware.com:8000/FAQ/> is the location for the FAQ.
< http://www.ivsoftware.com/pub/faq/IDL_FAQ_Update19990515.htm l> is a
snapshot containing the changed or added items from
May 01, through May 15,

<http://www.ivsoftware.com/pub/faq/IDL_FAQ_19990515.html> is a snapshot
containing the latest version of the FAQ as of May 15,
1999.
Also, check out the Coyote website by David Fanning:

If your boss gives you books about IDL, ask him to purchase David's book
(which he can do from that website)!
