I had mentioned in a Feb 12 post that Ken Bowman's web page no longer seemed to be a available. So it has been unavailable for at least a month.
Last May, Ken wrote a post in which he complained about the high cost of an IDL student license, which had to be renewed every year. I am just speculating, but perhaps this is connected the disappearance of his website.
Sorry, I don't know of any other site with copies of his programs --Wayne
