I salvaged the ANA 3 downloads and copied them to my personal FTP
area. You can find them here:
ftp://cow.physics.wisc.edu/pub/craigm/ana/ana3.tar.gz Main prog
ftp://cow.physics.wisc.edu/pub/craigm/ana/anadoc3.tar.gz Documentation
Another IDL-like language is Yorick. The author, Dave Munro, seems to
have gone to a good effort to optimize the mathematical operations for
speed. However, your IDL scripts will not transfer over directly
because the language is not exactly the same. In fact, there are a
lot of language elements that Yorick has that would be very nice to
transfer over to IDL. Here is the main page for Yorick.
