description: Yes, there is. It's located at ftp://fermi.jhuapl.edu/pub/idl . I'd say that you can find out many useful things there. Anton -- Anton Ivanov Division of Geology and Planetary Science California Institute of Technology 170-25, Pasadena, CA, 91125, USA

description: I have placed idl.el in several places: ftp://fermi.jhuapl.edu/pub/idl_emacs/ ftp://eos.crseo.ucsb.edu/pub/idl/ You can also find it at the ohio-state Emacs Lisp archive, but sometimes they are slow at archiving the latest submission: At the above sites there is a draft document describing idl.el called idl-mode.txt. ftp://archive.cis.ohio-state.edu/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive /misc/ The latest version of idl.el is 1.18. I have also placed the latest version (1.19) of idl-shell.el in the above locations. idl-shell.el runs IDL as an inferior process in an emacs buffer. It provides the features of comint.el (which is used in many other emacs inferior process modes) and provides some debugging abilities similar to gud (xdb) mode, e.g. setting and deleting of breakpoints. There are still lots of problems and improvements needed to the debugging features, but I find it very useful. I am much more productive in my IDL programming using idl-shell as opposed to running IDL in a terminal. Send bug reports, comments and suggestions to me.
