My goodness. Does the MatLab newsgroup know this? I would have
thought with the size of data ballooning daily that this alone
would have MatLab users clamoring to learn IDL.

Where's the number of the RSI marketing department...

Oh, wait. I guess I wouldn't want to explain "pass by
reference" in ten words or less to the unwashed masses either. :-(
