While converting IDL4 handles to IDL5 pointers in my SHARP application,
I found it very useful to have pointer wrapper routines which behaved
the same as the obsolete HANDLE_CREATE, HANDLE_FREE, and HANDLE_VALUE
routines (type '? obsolete' at the IDL5 prompt for obsolete routine
information). To assist others who may be converting from using handles
to pointers, I've posted the wrapper routines at

Cheers,
Liam.
