I was always told that you cannot break the API (or ABI) while only
changing a *minor* version, you need to change the *major* version, like
IDL 7.0.

Is there a way to pseudo-compile into a 6.x compatible way ?

Thanks

You said it yourself: 6.0 :)
Trouble is my supervisor is away I have no idea how to get 6.1 on my

Same here on my Linux box (IDL 6.0). Unfortunately I don't have a fix.
I've got it running on my iBook though; there I'm running IDL 6.1.

Using the verbose keyword with restore reveals that the .sav file was
made with IDL 6.1

IDL> restore, "idldoc.sav", /verbose
% RESTORE: Portable (XDR) compressed SAVE/RESTORE file.
% RESTORE: Save file written by mgalloy@GSGMGALLOY, Fri Jan 14 15:57:26
2005.
% RESTORE: IDL version 6.1.1 (Win32, x86).
% RESTORE: Error in ZLIB compression library - data error. Unit: 100,
File: idldoc.sav
% RESTORE: Error in ZLIB compression library - data error. Unit: 100,
File: idldoc.sav
% RESTORE: Error in ZLIB compression library - data error. Unit: 100,
File: idldoc.sav
...

So, does anybody know if procedures compiled in idl 6.1 can be used in
IDL 6.0?

Mathieu, which IDL version do you have?

Pepijn Kenter.
