Nope. Unfortunately, there are two very different packages with the
abbreviation "IDL". The newsgroup comp.lang.idl is for the Interface
Definition Language, but has been somewhat superseded by the OMG-related
newsgroup comp.object.corba. The newsgroup for discussing issues related
to RSI's IDL and VNI's PV~WAVE and IMSL/IDL is comp.lang.idl-pvwave.
The Interface Definition Language is part of the Common Object Request
Broker Architecture (CORBA), a distributed computing specification from
the Object Management Group (OMG). For more details, see
http://www.omg.org/, or the newsgroup comp.object.corba.
