I beg to agree. WHen I came to Varian (see .sig) from VMS I told my boss
that I know IDL, have used it for ages, have tonnes of software etc, so that
I can easily start calculating stuff etc. Was I surprised.

Release 4 was also buggy. No printing of programs or graphics. Sometimes I
really wonder whether we have any protection from software releases like
this. Maybe getting V5 for free or half price. The only reason I would want
to get V5 is to get long file names and removal of printing problems.

I better stop now...
