Hi Mark,

I still have Peter Mason's dropfile code.

I've placed it at http://www.cool.id.au/IDL/

Note that I've modified the dropfile_test.pro routine to actually
display image files dragged
onto the IDL window, and best of all, it still works under XP SP2
using IDL v6.4!!

So check out the separate dropfile_test.pro rather than the original
in the zip file, which doesn't
display the image, but just the filename.
