Re: Assignment type mismatch

Without seeing more of your script, I think this is what you want:

   ptw = pt ; make new array with all metadata
   ptw = pt * conform (pt, tofloat (wgt), 0))

The tofloat function could be inserted in three different places here,
to get the same effect. There are other ways to do this, but this way
is cleanest, I think. HTH.
