the good "news":there is one already : the run time version of IDL which
is at least available for x86 systems -
the bad "news":
you have to purchase licenses also - and I think their are expensive
And I think this is more ore less a FAQ: you can save your program and
libraries and
variables via the SAVE command and restore it afterwards at run time.
