CALL_EXTERNAL on SGI IRIX
type: item
description: I seem to recall reading somewhere that while CALL_EXTERNAL is not supported in IDL for IRIX 4.0.5, it is supported in IDL for IRIX 5.1. Can anyone confirm that this is correct? My problem is that I have datasets written in HDF/netCDF, and while IDL 3.5 will read HDF or netCDF, it will not read HDF/netCDF. I want to call the HDF/netCDF library routines from IDL, and I think I need CALL_EXTERNAL to do this. Currently I have IDL 3.5.1 and IRIX 4.0.5. Replies via email would be appreciated. -- Liam E.
