Uh, well, XROI *is* an IDL tool. :-)

Ah, well. I hear from the Ketchup Advisory Board that
people don't even know you exist unless you hit them over the
head 15 times. Why do you think I post so often on this newsgroup. :-)

Even if you have your facts slightly askew, I appreciate
the sentiment. Today was a frustrating one for me and
I briefly (but seriously) entertained the notion of walking
away from IDL forever. I thought I just might get into some
other line of work entirely. Surveying, say, or house painting.
It's nice to feel a bit appreciated. Thank you.
Cheers,
David
P.S. Did you know that if you restore an object, say, in a method
and fool around with it a bit and save it back to the same filename
before leaving the method that IDL *appends* to the save file? No,
I didn't either. But I do now. Let's just say I spent half of a VERY
long day convinced I was going nuts. :-(
