recommendation of IDL for use in commercial app.
We're looking at IDL for use as an adjunct to the software we provide with our spectral imaging camera. Does anyone else have experience using IDL as part of a commercial application? Our base application, for camera control, spectral image formation, visualization and analysis is written in C++ using MFC under Win32s. IDL 4. is supposed to be callable from a Win32 program. Has anyone tried it? Thanks for speaking up if you have any advice. --David Wine wine@actcom.co.il Software Development Manager Spectral Diagnostics, Ltd.

We've done it with data analysis software, and I know there are commercial applications in the medical imaging industry. You must work out a licensing arrangement with RSI, but your customers need not purchase IDL. I suggest you contact RSI with your questions.
