I think what they mean is, you will NEED a lawyer if
you try this. :-)

I think even with my meager computer skills I could
figure out how to move a file from the IDL 5.3 distribution
over to the IDL 5.4 distribution. But I still think it
is easier to switch to JPEG files. And, as an added bonus,
the colors will be better and device-independent when you
publish them on the web. :-)

Cheers,

David
