Re: very fast spline interp function for heavy oversampling?

Thanks Craig and Martin!

I've implemented the spl_interp method and WOW, it is a factor of 36 faster
than the SPLINE function call (for my program anyway).

So why doesn't the canned IDL routine spline.pro, just call these functions?

re: the "don't have time to do this" in my original message.  I will be
crunching
a lot of data tonight for a client, and one function call is a spline like
this.
I did not want to add in my own untested coded immediately prior to this
important crunching.  This solution (spl_interp) is great, it helps a whole
lot! I may
even be able to get to sleep tonight!

Cheers,
bob
