Yikes! These programs haven't been as all-inclusive as
I intended them to be. :-)

I learned tonight that people running older versions of
IDL (6.4 and earlier) were having problems running the
programs and creating PostScript output files. It seems
that setting the color decomposition state of the current
graphics device is quite device and version specific.

To get around the problem, I've written a new program
called SetDecomposedState that sets the color decomposition
state in a device independent way by taking these dependencies
into account. FSC_Contour, FSC_Surf, and FSC_Plot have
been updated to set the color decomposition state with
this new program.

This should make things a great deal smoother for our
friends running older versions of IDL. :-)

As always, if you have problems, don't just assume I'm
an idiot. Let me know about it. ;-)

Cheers,

David
