IDL 4.0.1 for Linux is ready for delivery. If you are interested in
purchasing IDL for Linux, read this and call your Research Systems
sales rep (303-786-9900) for details or send an email to "info@rsinc.com".
Technical Info:
IDL for Linux was built under Linux 1.2.8 using Slackware version 2.2.
A statically compiled version that should work with older versions of
the Linux kernel (e.g., Linux 1.0.9), is also included.
With the following exception, IDL for Linux is a complete
implementation of IDL, ensuring code portability across Windows, Mac,
Unix, Linux, and VMS: CALL_EXTERNAL, LINKIMAGE, and Callable IDL are
not available, though they may be implemented sometime after the ELF
file format is standard on Linux systems.
Price of IDL for Linux:
IDL for Linux costs the same as IDL for Windows or Macintosh, with the
same support and update policies. The license of IDL for Linux is
node-locked. This is different than the Windows or Mac versions of IDL,
which have a HASP dongle that can be moved from machine to machine.
Therefore, to use IDL for Linux at home an additional license is required.
IDL for Linux Home Use Option(tm)
(may be unavailable in some countries):
Since many Linux users are students or professionals working at home,
Research Systems is offering a special Home Use price until Oct. 31:
-- price is 1/3 of the Windows or Macintosh commercial list price
(IDL for Linux Home Use Option costs $500 in the USA)
-- includes CD-ROM or Internet downloading (with IDL 4.0.1 for Unix)
-- includes IDL Basics tutorial
-- includes over 1600 pages of hypertext, on-line help (no paper manuals)
