Yes, this is *extremely* common on UNIX machines, in
particular. I don't know why. It's not uncommon, when
I am tracking a problem for someone, to find 4-5 versions
of the Coyote Library on someone's IDL path.

We should have a seminar on how to set up an IDL
path and get updates when they are available! :-)

Mark Piper, how about it? This would be an excellent
topic for one of your excellent hour-long seminars!

Cheers

David
