RSI contacted me about the problems with getting the supplied RPC
examples to work. For some reason, the RPC files included with the
IDL 3.6 distribution contains errors (they didn't say why), but the
ones that came with version 3.5 are correct, and they do work
(they work with IDL 3.6 as well).
I'm now using IDL from my C programs to display the results of
calculations during execution, and it works beautifully. It's nice
to be able to use high-level plotting routines from a C program
without having to dig into lots of X libraries or storing all the
data in intermediate files for transfer to IDL. It's highly
recommendable, and it only took me a few hours to get it done
by modifying the example files.
The RPC files from the 3.5 distribution can be found in the
outgoing directory on gateway.rsinc.com, file name 'rpc_351.tar.Z',
if you don't have them lying around any more (as we did).
