Yes. There was a time-limited demo made available earlier this year. I
assume they have a product out by now. I also heard that IDL and MATLAB is
coming out with one too.

That's really great news. I didn't see any announcements, nor was the
new version on the ftp server.
Anyone tried it allready? And, what's the price? Like Windows version,
or like a full Unix licence?
Thanks for any info.

Peter

...

from a recent (15 August) mail bulletine:

IDL 4.0.1 is the first version of IDL to support the Linux operating
system. Linux is a UNIX-like PC operating system that has gained
rapid acceptance from technical software users around the world.
IDL supports Slackware (tm) Professional Linux Version 2.1 using
Linux kernel 1.1.54 and the Xfree 3.1 (X11R6) window system.

Linux:

IDL for Linux was built under Linux 1.2.8 using Slackware (tm)
Version 2.2.

We also ship a compiled version that should work with
older kernels.dow system.
...


also .Microsoft Windows NT 3.51.

I'm afraid no. There was a demoversion that worked quite well (had
problems with floating exceptions), but it had a time protection that
ran out in April. I've never heard of a full version.
Same for IDL. I remember that there had been an announcement for IDL 4.0
for Linux, but when it (4.0) came out, there was no Linux version.
Too bad.

Should we (again?) start sending email to the companies? How many users
would be interested in running WAVE/IDL on Linux boxes? I think I (we)
are not the only ones.
