;
; PURPOSE:
;   Restore variables from an IDL SAVE file.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE: (various)
;   CMRESTORE, filename                           (implicit)
;   CMRESTORE, filename, var1, var2, ..., [, NAMES=names]
;   CMRESTORE, filename, DATA=pointers, NAMES=names, PASS_METHOD='POINTER'
;   CMRESTORE, filename, DATA=handles,  NAMES=names, PASS_METHOD='HANDLE'
;   CMRESTORE, filename, DATA=structure,             PASS_METHOD='STRUCT'
;   
; DESCRIPTION: 
;
;   CMRESTORE is a replacement for the built-in IDL procedure RESTORE.
;   It restores variables and data from an existing IDL SAVE file,
;   written either by SAVE or CMSAVE.  The CMSV utility library must
;   be installed in your IDL path to use CMSAVE and CMRESTORE.
;
;   The primary advantage to CMRESTORE is the ability to selectively
;   restore only certain variables from the input file (based on
;   name).  CMRESTORE provides a number of ways to pass the data
;   between routines, typically using a pointer or structure, which
;   avoids the unsafe practice of restoring variables in the caller's
;   namespace.  However, CMRESTORE can restore variables into the
;   caller's namespace, but users should be aware that this capacity
;   is somewhat limited in IDL versions 5.2 and below.
;

;   Research Systems, Inc. has issued a separate license intended

;   software library.
; ==================================================================
;
; COMPATIBILITY:
;
;   -- File Format --
;
;   CMRESTORE should be able to read files written by SAVE and CMSAVE
;   from IDL version 4 to version 5.4.
;
;   CMRESTORE cannot restore objects, pointers, compressed files, or
;   data sets larger than 2 gigabytes.
;   
;   Data types available in newer versions of IDL, such as pointers
;   and long integers, will not be readable in older versions of IDL
;   which do not have those data types.
;
;   -- Calling Interface --
;
;   For the most part, all capabilities of CMRESTORE are available to
;   the user.  However, it should be noted that passing variables by
;   positional parameter is not available under IDL 4, unless NAMES is
;   used to name the variables explicitly.  Also, under IDL versions
;   5.2 and previous, it is not possible for CMRESTORE to restore
;   variables into the caller's name space if they are not yet
;   defined.
;
;   This procedure is part of the CMSVLIB SAVE library for IDL by
;   Craig Markwardt.  You must have the full CMSVLIB core package
;   installed in order for this procedure to function properly.
;
; INPUTS:
;
;   FILENAME - the name of the SAVE file.
;              Default: none, this parameter must be specified.
;
;   VAR{i} - The values to be restored.  By default the save name is
;            taken from the named variables that are passed.  These
;            default names can be overridden by using the NAMES
;            keyword.
;
;            If no variables are passed as positional parameters, they
;            can still be saved using the DATA keyword.  By invoking
;            CMRESTORE without positional parameters or DATA,
;            CMRESTORE automatically will attempt to restore the
;            variables to the calling routine's name space (the
;            "implicit" technique).
;
;               NOTE: in IDL 5.2 and below, user routines are not
;               allowed to *CREATE* new variables in the caller's name
;               space.  CMRESTORE may fail if the variable in
;               undefined in the caller.  Therefore you must define it
;               before calling CMRESTORE.  The safer practice is to
;               use the VAR{i} positional parameters, or the DATA
;               keyword.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;   FILENAME - the name of the SAVE file.  The positional FILENAME
;              parameter takes precedence over the keyword FILENAME
;              parameter.
;
;              NOTE that if you pass variables as positional
;              parameters, then the first parameter *must* be the file
;              name, and the FILENAME *keyword* will be ignored.
;
;   PASS_METHOD - a scalar string, describing the method of passing
;                 data between the caller and CMRESTORE.  The keyword
;                 can take the value 'ARGUMENT', 'POINTER', 'HANDLE'
;                 or 'STRUCT'.  A value of 'ARGUMENT' indicates that
;                 data values will be passed by command line argument,
;                 and is the default.  Other values are described
;                 below.
;
;   DATA - A list of data elements to be restored from the output
;          file.  The data elements can be one of the following,
;          depending on the value of PASS_METHOD.  The means of
;          extracting the data, and the method of naming each
;          variable, are also indicated.
;
;            * PASS_METHOD='POINTER': An array of pointers to the variables
;                    Data: pointed-to value     Name: from NAMES keyword
;            * PASS_METHOD='HANDLE':  An array of handles to the variables
;                    Data: pointed-to value     Name: from NAMES keyword
;            * PASS_METHOD='STRUCT':  A structure containing data to be saved
;                    Data: tag value            Name: tag name
;
;          Data values are restored one by one, using the appropriate
;          name.  Note that any variables passed as positional
;          parameters will cause the DATA keyword to be ignored.
;
;          CMRESTORE will allocate any pointer or handle resources.
;          The calling routine is responsible for deallocating any
;          pointer or handle resources.
;
;   NAMES - a string array, giving the names for each variable.  
;
;           If the data are passed by positional parameters, the names
;           are assigned according to the position of the parameter in
;           the procedure call.  
;
;           If the data are passed by an array of pointers or handles,
;           then the names are assigned according to the position of
;           the data in the array.  In this case there is no other way
;           to supply the variable name.  NAMES is required.
;
;           If the data are passed in a structure, then the names are
;           assigned according to the position of the data in the
;           structure.  The values specified in the names keyword
;           override the tag names.
;
;   STATUS - upon return, an integer indicating the status of the
;            operation.  A value of 1 indicates success, while 0
;            indicates failure.  A failure condition does not
;            necessarily indicate that an individual variable could
;            not be restored; use the VARSTATUS keyword to detect such
;            situations.
;
;   VARSTATUS - upon return, an integer array indicating the status of
;               the restore operation for each variable.  A value of 1
;               at position i in the array indicates success for the
;               ith variable, while a value of 0 indicates failure.
;
;   ERRMSG - upon return, a string indicating the status of the
;            operation.  The empty string indicates success, while a
;            non-empty string indicates failure and describes the
;            error condition.
;
;   QUIET - if set, then the error message is returned to the calling
;           routine.  By default an error condition causes execution
;           to stop and the message to be printed on the console.
;
;   VERBOSE - if set, then a short message is printed for each
;             variable.
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
;   CMSAVE, VAR1, VAR2, FILENAME='test.sav'
;   CMSAVE, VAR1, VAR2, FILENAME='test.sav', NAMES=['A','B']
;
;     Save the data in VAR1 and VAR2 to the file test.sav.  In the
;     first case the saved variable names will be VAR1 and VAR2.  In
;     the second case the saved variable names will be A and B.
;
;   POINTERS = [ptr_new(VAR1), ptr_new(VAR2)]
;   CMSAVE, DATA=POINTERS, NAMES=['A','B'], FILENAME='test.sav'
;
;     Save the data in VAR1 and VAR2 to the file test.sav.  The saved
;     variable names will be A and B.
;
;   STRUCTURE = {A: VAR1, B: VAR2}
;   CMSAVE, DATA=STRUCTURE, FILENAME='test.sav'
;
;     Save the data in VAR1 and VAR2 to the file test.sav.  The saved
;     variable names will be A and B.
