I see your point. I was assuming that readers would get the
pdf from here
http://idl.tamu.edu/Home.html
This sits on a university server, so there are no direct links
to purchase the book. Under university rules that would constitute
"profiting from the use of university facilities". David Fanning can
tell you how rich we are getting from writing IDL books.
If you want to buy the book, Amazon has it a very reasonable price.
Cheers, Ken
