It looks like running IDL as an RPC server isn't possible for
non-unix platforms, but Callable IDL should be ok, no?
What I normally do is to run a slightly modified version of the
idl/external/rpc/example.c program as a command line input loop,
passing all input on to the idlrpc process. For most practical
purposes (other than interrupting operation with Ctrl-C, and
using multi-line commands) it looks as if I'm running the
normal, tty input IDL under idlwave-shell).
Now, it shouldn't be too difficult to make a Callable IDL
version of this setup, simply writing a main program that
initializes IDL, and sends all input to the IDL_ExecuteStr
(instead of IDL_RPCExecuteStr). Voila, and you've created your
own tty-input version of IDL.... I think.

Stein Vidar

I haven't used ascii_template that much. It returns a structure,
which you than pass to read_ascii via the 'template=' keyword, right?
If you're reading files that have the same structure, you can just
save the template to a save set (using save,variable,file=filename)
which you restore when required. If you're talking about creating the
template on demand, either you go through the Gui, or you prize apart
how the structure works and fill the fields by hand. Then return to
the previous step.

We try to be nice. :-)

If you mean the way that you can run idlwave-shell (formerly
idl-shell) in an Emacs buffer with Unix-Emacs, I'm afraid not. Some
time back, IDL for Windows *did* work as a command-line program, but
alas, this has been lost with the advent of IDLDE. I have requested
from RSI that this be reinstated if possible, but to no effect as yet.
Of course you can still use Emacs as your editor, then ask IDLDE to
reload it after each save you do from Emacs. But it *sure* would be
nice to have idlwave-shell...
Cheers,
