Subject: JBIU update (and testimonial)
I've made a few updates to JBIU, which can be found in the usual place:

http://web.astroconst.org/jbiu

The biggest change is that all of the plotting routines now use Coyote Graphics (and accept /WINDOW and /ADDCMD keywords). There's also a new routine UNIQIFY that returns the unique elements of an array (for when you get sick of typing foo[foo_sorted[uniq(foo[foo_sorted])]]), and SPLINEOPLOT has been rename SPLINEPLOT and modified slightly.

I also thought that you might be entertained by what my boss had to say about MATCH_SPH, once I finally got him to try it out:

"Holy shit!  I cannot believe how much faster that is than srcor.  I kept on
putting off reading it in...  But I needed to x-correlate 300Kx300K, and it
was going to take me days (literally).  your routine did it in 5 seconds."

-Jeremy.

To be fair , he was most likely using a pre-March 2009 version of srcor.pro in the Astron library, which is when it was updated to dramatically improve the speed for  spherical matching.

On the other hand, I was just informed about a bug in srcor.pro when the sources are spread over more than half the sky, so maybe it was better to be using a different routine.    I'll have an update to srcor.pro soon.  --Wayne

Yeah, probably - I was surprised when he said it was almost 4 orders of magnitude faster, since it was more like a factor of 60-70 in my tests.
