IDL does indeed have the ability to create run-time versions. I suggest
you call up IDL to get the details.

A place to start is netlib.org.
2.1) What is Netlib?
The Netlib repository contains freely available software, documents, and databases of interest to the numerical,
scientific computing, and other communities. The repository is maintained by AT&T Bell Laboratories, the University of
Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and by colleagues world-wide. The collection is replicated at several sites
around the world, automatically synchronized, to provide reliable and network efficient service to the global community.
