Indeed, but I think Arno is doing alright making his
points. I just get the feeling that he is quite a bit
younger than I am and lacks the--shall we say--historical
perspective that comes part and parcel with sore knees,
gray hair, and a two inch vertical jump on those damn
overheads. :-(

In any case, he is absolutely right about this: any
software written in today's modern languages that
acts like IDL does wouldn't be considered very well
written by most of us.

Cheers,

David
