David,
I've installed IDL 7.0 off the disk, and I *do* see your mysterious
holes in the Himalayas and in the high plateaus of
the Antartic (not the South Pole, but the high mountains surrounding
he pole.)
Now that I know what you're talking about, I continue to be puzzled
that I *do not* see the same effect under IDL 6.4,
but you do.
I have to find something better to do on a cold, wet Saturday
arvo... ;-)
A.
