...with lots of new subroutines, several improvements and important bug
fixes.
GDL - GNU Data Language, an IDL 6.0 compatible incremental compiler
(capable of running programs written in IDL).
Version: 0.8.8
New routines (overall more than 240 subroutines implemented):
PLOTS, XYOUTS (both 2D only), OBJ_CLASS, OBJ_ISA, N_TAGS, SWAP_ENDIAN,
BYTSCL, BYTEORDER, SETENV, GETENV, STRUCT_ASSIGN, GETENV, STREGEX,
TAG_NAMES.
For a sorted list of all implemented subroutines enter HELP,/LIB at
the command prompt.
FEATURES:

Common blocks, Assoc variables,
Arrays, System variables,
All operators, All data types...
Compiles on Linux and Mac OS X (10.2, 10.3, with g++ 3.3)
The file input output system is fully implemented
(Exception: For formatted I/O the C() sub-codes are not supported yet)
Most image file formats (jpeg, tiff, ...) are supported.
