This Google Group was created in 2018 as a continuation of the Usenet group comp.lang.idl-pvwave, which was overrun by spam. It was for discussion of the Interactive Data Language (IDL), developed by NV5 Geospatial Corporation (http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/SoftwareTechnology/IDL.aspx). The MV5 forum ( https://www.l3harrisgeospatial.com/Support/Forums/aff/217 ) is now preferable as a source of IDL information. The site http://www.idlcoyote.com/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/ was created to search the pre-2018 archives of the group, but currently (May 2023) does not appear to be working.
