First, let me explain a few things to those readers who may be
a little confused at this point. No, I am not replying to my
own post. A friend of mine named Keith Crosley (see below)
who works at RSI, the manufacturer of IDL, has been using one
of my computer accounts to read mail and news. However, as part
of the University's agreement for getting a computer account,
my login may not be used for any commercial projects. Let me
apologize for giving anybody the impression that the account
bradleyt@ucsu.colorado.edu has anything to do with Research
Systems Inc., a for-profit company. Keith may be contacted at
his address below, but not by replying to the previously posted
message.

For those of you unacquainted with the warped minds of RSI's
"Technical Communications" department, this is Keith's idea
of a joke. Actually, I have seen neither the DOS version nor
the Windows version of IDL. However, I would be more than happy
to offer to be part of RSI's BETA program for IDL for Windows.
Does anyone know where I can apply for this program?

If you are trying to contact Mr. Crosley, be sure to send mail to
the above address, not to bradleyt@ucsu.colorado.edu.
