I've been away for a few days, so I'm glad to see that the IDL for
Mac/Alpha furor has not completely died down.

I'm still very concerned that all of the platforms on which I run IDL
are not long for this world (Mac and Alpha - dead already; AIX, IRIX,
and Linux - who knows?).

RSI's problem is not a *communication* problem; it's an *integrity*
problem. They said they would do something, people made plans and
spent money, then they changed their minds.

I hate to think that IDL as a product is not economically viable, but
the scientific marketplace may simply be too small. If RSI is unable
to afford to produce a command-line version for Mac OS X (no aqua
interface, just a port to a FreeBSD system) that will be my conclusion.
