Hi IDL Group,

Its been a long time since I last posted here. Nearly 2 years! I have
been travelling and forced to use non-IDL products much to my dismay
such as MatLab and SysQuake and the occasional GnuPlot. All fine and
good but not IDL...

Anyway, I just got set up with my new system earlier today, and I am
offering you my first hack:

The student edition has an annoying splash screen. All splash screens
are annoying by definition, but 15 seconds is INSANE!

But if you have root access (or a friend with root access) and go
here:
/usr/local/rsi/idl/resource/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults/bitmaps /
and delete the files idlspls*

Then the splash screen won't bother you anymore :) This has been
tested on an OS X box w/ IDL 5.6.

Cheers,

-k.
