IDL mode for emacs
type: item
description: Has anyone written an IDL mode for emacs, that they would like to share with the rest of us...? I am looking for a mode, where emacs recognizes the structure of IDL code, where you can compile regions of the code or the entire buffer with a couple of keystrokes, and have IDL running interactively in another buffer where you can see the results of running the code. A mode similar to the Splus mode for emacs, for instance. Niels V. Petersen -- Niels Vaever Petersen tlf.: 8942 3494 Afd. f.
