My "deep-throat" source just reported in. He (or she)
tells me he was in a bathroom stall admiring Ray
Sterner's (Expert of the Year, 1993) maps in that
new book by William Least Heat Moon, when two
members of the Committee walked in discussing
this year's secret test question. He put his
feet up and they didn't know he (or she) was
there.

Anyway, the question is: "How do you get IDL
to work on a DirectColor display?" The only
hold-up in offering the question to this year's
nominees is that they haven't yet been able to
find anyone on the nominating committee who
knows the answer. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. I've heard rumors that there used to be one
person who knew, but he left to take a job
in the government sector, of all places.
