IDL supports the same widget interface under all of Motif (IBM, HP,
etc.), OpenWindoze (Sun) and MS-Windows. With due attention to
details (eg. filenames, XDR for data exchange, display sizes), the
same IDL widget interface will work in all three environments in
roughly the same way. No coding changes are required.

(I must admit to being flabbergasted at how well this works in
practice. One huge application only required filename changes when we
got our MS-Windows version of IDL!)
