We've succeeded, with various hoo-doo spells and leaps of imagination,
to run .sav files without the IDL interpreter interface-- But we have
a lingering feeling that it would be nice to have some documentation.
Or at least some assurance that our .sav routines will continue to
work in runtime IDL versions-to-come... -Is- there actual
documentation for idlrt.exe anywhere (assuming that this is, in fact,
how the trick is done)? Does anyone have reliable knowledge about how
it all works?

Dear Matt,

there is a small amount of rules you should know.
* !PATH does not exist in runtime


* the filename of the routine have to be the same as
the calling procedure.
* EXECUTE won't work (e.g. read_ascii uses EXECUTE)
* nothing could be compiled but other compiled routines
could be loaded.
This means you can separatly build runtime modules
for each routine or one for a routine with all dependent
routines.

* if a compiled routine is in the search path then this
routine is loaded instead of compiling the source by
working with the interpreter.

* calling is idl -rt=./my_runtime.sav


All routines of our library are compiled by this routine:

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/download/compile.tar.gz

for example

url_get -o x_def_colortable.sav
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/download/x_def_colortable.sav
idl -rt=./x_def_colortable


Further routines you find at
