It's a fairly complex ascii file, the parser of which I did not write
myself. Combine the complexity, with the fact that I didn't write the
original parser, and I feel more comfortable reusing the code, than
rewriting it in IDL, which I just started using yesterday. Maybe as I learn
more about IDL, I'll write a parser in IDL, but until then....
Thanks for the info,
Later,
