I have just switched jobs, and in the process have been forced to
migrate from Windows to Linux. I have a lot of programming in the
windows IDLDE and really love it. Color coding, lots of preferences
available (like getting the silly project manager off the desktop),
etc. I see (in previous threads) that there are some weird technical
reasons why idlde in Linux totally bites.

So tell me, what is an idl programmer in linux to do? What do you
guys do (I'm thinking of Craig Marquardt, Liam Gumley, David Fanning,
etc)? All use
emacs plus the simple idl command line interface? Or something else?

I realize I am new to programming IDL under linux, so I am figuring
people out there have come up with a nice system (equal in
functionality to the windows idlde i hope!) for linux idl
programming/debugging/running. Just curious what it is.

BTW, i am now running Linux RedHat 9 with IDL 6.0.

Cheers,
Chris O'Dell
