I get enough e-mails that I suspect it still has some value to a small (and decreasing) IDL population. If you have contacted me before about this and I have ignored you, I am sorry. It has been too painful for me to think about and I preferred denial to action. Please contact me again. First come, first served.

My kids got wonderful educations because of you! I am grateful to each and every one of you who participated and contributed to this wonderful IDL community.

David, thanks for everything you've done for the IDL programming community. I hope that your website will remain accessible in some form, since it is still a valuable resource.
