Heh, and the irony is that Kodak is the company that was menacingly
threatening legal action against me for my SAVE library, for the very
reason that they were worried about the security of ENVI code from
prying eyes.

> Hi, ...

Making RunTime version of the program is a good way of making IDL
"executable". And it is suitable for classic developer-customer
relations, when developer gives the finished program to the customer.

But it is not very convenient if your application (used by your
colleagues nearby) is being developed, fixed, changed ... continually.
RunTime version does not allow debug your program at user workplace
and "forget" some very useful additional information such as program
line numbers at catch output (help, /last). So in this case I prefer
using "startup file" option of IDLDE preferences. If startup program
find some file (e.g. AutoRun.pro) at startup working directory startup
program call it. Unfortunately IDLDE seems to ignore Windows option of
start as an icon, so to hide(icon) IDLDE some special tools must be
used (e.g. DoHide).

Sorry, you are on your own with envi...
