Unfortunately I don't have a fix. I've got it running on my iBook though; there I'm running IDL 6.1. Using the verbose keyword with restore reveals that the .sav file was made with IDL 6.1 IDL> restore, "idldoc.sav", /verbose % RESTORE: Portable (XDR) compressed SAVE/RESTORE file. % RESTORE: Save file written by mgalloy@GSGMGALLOY, Fri Jan 14 15:57:26 2005. % RESTORE: IDL version 6.1.1 (Win32, x86). % RESTORE: Error in ZLIB compression library - data error. Unit: 100, File: idldoc.sav % RESTORE: Error in ZLIB compression library - data error. Unit: 100, File: idldoc.sav % RESTORE: Error in ZLIB compression library - data error. Unit: 100, File: idldoc.sav ... So, does anybody know if procedures compiled in idl 6.1 can be used in IDL 6.0? Mathieu, which IDL version do you have? Pepijn Kenter.

I was always told that you cannot break the API (or ABI) while only changing a *minor* version, you need to change the *major* version, like IDL 7.0. Is there a way to pseudo-compile into a 6.x compatible way ? Thanks Mathieu
