By pure coincidence a workmate just arrived with the IDl Users Guide Addendum.
It certainly has lots of stats including cluster analysis and analysis of
variance.  He had a demo with another group and found the IDL widgets very
handy. He is 'demanding' we buy IDL despite the fact we already have PV~Wave on
a VAXstation 3200. We had a short meeting with other interested parties and
came to a tentative conclusion we should buy IDL for our DECsystem 500/200
instead of buying another relatively expensive copy of PV~Wave. At least we
will have our cake and eat it too until we can see more clearly what develops.
Can RSI and PVI please state their future directions and objectives for their
respective products?
