I had this program open for another reason the other day, and
I was playing around with the IDL 7.1 beta, so I thought
I would just set it up to work properly with 24-bit color
in PostScript. But in the final IDL 7.1, they abandoned
the TRUE_COLOR keyword for something else (DECOMPOSED=1,
I think, which would make a LOT more sense to me).

Unfortunately, I don't have the official 7.1 version, so
I don't know how to fix this. If someone figures it out,
please let me know.

Cheers,

David
