I'm working on a small booklet, but it is heavy going
and nowhere near finished. IDL 8 seems to generate more
questions than answers. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. You couldn't get the IT guys to go all the way
to 8.1, huh? I would say 8.1 is about half finished,
at least in terms of graphics. I haven't turned my
attention to lists and hashes yet, but I'm not
terribly optimistic. 8.0, which I couldn't even
use, was much worse.
