Dave,
Having the two identical dlls will likely not cause you trouble per se.
However, RSI (ITTVIS) does not guarantee upward compatibility of IDL
program save files. So you have to test the functionality thoroughly to
ensure everything is working as it should. If it does, you found a
simple solution to an annoying problem. Too bad, this solution doesn't
work to get DLMs to run.
Cheers,
Haje
