I heard from Thierry, too. He is indeed THE expert on the Mac IDL, and
more than once casually solved problems I was facing, just by a one-line
email message. I have indications that OSX version has had advancements
over other platforms in widget implementation and many other aspects. It
would be nice if RSI at least, just out of respect to Thierry, released
the beta he has created, to let people see what they could have had. Oh,
licensing? Release it as a 7-second demo mode, of course :-(
I do have IDL on Unix and W2K, too, but this move makes me hesitant
about proceeding with using it. I will probably keep using IDL on my
Macs, too. But my news posts will be getting outdated version wise
pretty soon.
