I just received the new IDL Student Edition for Linux. I also just discovered this group after having used IDL for many years (what does that say about still being a student?). The student version seems good, so far, with none of the restrictions (except for GIF and MPEG) that were present in past editions. My question, however, is more of an annoyance than anything. I post here since there is no technical support included with the product and the problem is really trivial. There is an annoying 'splash screen' that persists for many (~15) seconds stating that I may not use the student version for Government or Commercial gain, etc. Is there a way to disable this, perhaps change the length of duration, or is this the price paid for getting IDL for $79?
