Can one write some code that utilizes a dlm (Ronn Kling's idltoavi to be
specific) and then employ that code in the Virtual Machine?
My problem is that some of here want to make some avi's like
i do in IDL on my window box, but all the other IDL licenses are on linux boxes.
I suggested whipping up a little widget to load jpgs and spit out the avi,
and running it on one of our public windows machines via VM.
But before I start, I figure I'd see if its possible first.
Cheers,
bob

No Worries.
IDL2AVI like a champ in my applications compiled for the VM.

Yeah, I'll have to, I downloaded it yesterday, and the install failed, and
I had downloaded it again this morning (on a different comp), and just
this minute had the install fail again. ARGH! something is kinda goofy on
that computer, perhaps I have a hardware problem.
I'm certain there are some CDs laying around here with the VM.
I'll have to check the coasters on the coffee table, and the dog frisbees. :)

And thank goodness! Otherwise the one or two people
who use those iTools (according to my recent informal survey)
would be *extremely* upset. :^)

Another way to feel better about the answer to this question is to observe
that IDL ships with a good deal of functionality off in DLM's for modularity
and to keep unneeded code out of the system. For example, the IPTOOLS DLM
contains the ROI objects and some other functionality and there are no VM
restrictions on using those.

Bob,
I am not aware of any limitations that prevent you from executing DLM code
from VM. Once a DLM is loaded, IDL does not distinguish between routines
contained in the IDL distribution itself and external routines. Just make
sure your program does not use the Execute function. The IDLtoAVI DLM works
beautifully and the example code works out of the box. No need to read man
pages for an hour before you can make your own "Hello World" avi!
Cheers,
Haje
