Hi everyone,
A little while back, we had a discussion about ^C interrupts on the DEC Alpha
There is a problem in that the 2nd time you execute ^C, you are kicked
out of IDL. This morning I received a message from RSI that apparently
fixes this problem. The patch must be obtained from DEC. We haven't tried
it on our machine yet, but I append the RSI message below.

Regarding the conversation you folks had on comp.lang.idl-pvwave
last month about using ^C twice in an IDL session killing the program,
I've determined that the problem lies in the C sharable library that
shipped with that version of VMS. DEC sent me a patch tape:
ECO NUMBER: AXPACRT03_061
PRODUCT: OPENVMS AXP OPERATING SYSTEM 6.1
I've installed it here and it appears to solve the problem. Unfortunately,
you have to get the patch from DEC directly, they won't allow us to
re-distribute.
Good luck, and feel free to share this information with the group.
