My only point is that learning how to link C++ programs
into IDL on your second day on the job, is like learning
C++ by starting with how the compiler works. It may be
useful (and even interesting), but at the end of the
day you aren't going to be much of anywhere.
But if you spend a day with IDL futzing around trying
to read an ASCII file, you might even have a file
reader by the time the dinner bell goes off. :-)
Cheers,
David
