I'd just like to say that I've been a satisfied IDL FFT user for
years, with no numerical problems. There's always the question of
normalization, but that's true for all FFTs, not just IDL's.

And you can always write your own DFT and compare that result.
It'll be slow, but appropriate for a simple test case.

I don't think that is possible, but there was a discussion some months
back about using external FFTs from IDL (FFTW, in particular). If you
google this newsgroup for FFTW you should find that thread.
