Hooray! Be sure to keep us updated on the project.
Nominations for Newcomer of the Year, always announced
at the October meeting of the IDL Expert Programmers
Association, are due soon. :-)

P.S. Let's just say Chairman Coyote was going on and on
to me the other day about the apparent lack of, well,
diversity among our members. It's his opinion that our
current promotional efforts aren't attracting either the
