They actually shared an identical source base, but since about IDL
5.0/PV~Wave 4.0 (???) they've evolved separately. So if it's just
fairly simple number crunching and plots that don't involve widgets
you've a fair chance of the source being good byte for byte. Throw in
any recent developments in syntax or function calls from either product
and you'll have to adjust, and widgets will mean starting from scratch
in all probability.
