Thanks!
I think some of the more useful things in the library:
* routines for pulling data out of with HDF5, netCDF, and HDF files
* template class (used in IDLdoc) to substitute strings into a text
file
* various special purpose visualization routines for things like
vector fields, producing POV-Ray output
* an automatic bindings generator for producing an IDL DLM with
wrappers around C routines
I will say that I have not "released" the library, it is just a
collection of routines I personally use. So individual routines may not
be as general as I intend for them to eventually be, but they solved a
problem I needed at the time.
