Duty calls.
In a renewed attempt to maintain my reputation of d.o.d.c, I hereby
post my nomination for "daddy's job of the year". Personally, I
think it makes J.D.'s text-widget subterfuge (of a couple of years
back) look as much a part of IDL as, say, a piston looks like a part
of an internal combustion engine. I'm particularly proud of my
method of getting "HWND"s for IDL widgets and challenge anyone to beat
it on the grounds of "ultra-risky platform-specific code that's sure
to break one day".
Anyway, it works. Or to be precise, it worked today on my PC running
IDL 5.4 on WinNT4 SP 6.
It can be had via anonymous FTP:
Server: ftp.syd.dem.csiro.au
File: dropfile.zip
You won't be able to get a directory listing of this server. If you
want a copy of this thing and the FTP doesn't work for you then email
me and I'll send it to you.
Cheers
