On my browsable library catalogue http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/~schultz.martin/idl
you will find several tools for reading ASCII files and also some for postscript
output. Producing postscript in IDL is very easy, but can also become quite
tricky. It's easy as long as you don't care too much about landscape vs.
portrait and where your bounding box sits. But if you want to control these
things, it might take a good part of your life ;-( I'd recommend David's
fsc_psconfig program -- I still can't understand that he is so shy in
advertising it. .. OK, there have been a few bugs in the past, but I am
convinced they are fixed now.
Cheers,
Martin
