... for IDL 7.0 only.

I have created a Windows console application that provides familiar
Unix command-line functionality. I know that you guys and gals are
hard core IDL and Unix users, so please don't flame me if your
favorite functionality isn't there.

The console application does have some nice additional features not
found in the Unix command-line IDL app. Of special note, is the IDL
"MP" mode. IDL MP mode allows you to create multiple IDL processes,
switch the command line between them, and even asynchronously post a
command to an MP process for execution in the background without
blocking the command line. You can even create MP IDL sessions in
different bit modes--allowing you to mix and match 32- and 64-bit
processes.

I did this project on the side, so I don't know how often I will be
updating it. Hopefully, it will fulfill all your needs. (smile) I
will collect feedback for any future releases. But, if you find
something catastrophic, please let me know.

I have minimally tested it on WinXP 32/64 and Vista. Please see the
doc in the download file for the list of know issues and bugs, plus
installation instructions, and full details on functionality.

I've posted the download zip file on the ITTVIS code contribution
site. Search for my name "Abraham", or the file name "wincl_7.0.zip",
or, you can try this link:

I've been in touch with JD and Abraham, and Abraham is now away for a few days,
and may have some answers when he comes back. My current unsubstantiated guess
is that his program is using the console instead of stdin and stdout, and Emacs
can't conveniently talk to such programs. Here's where I got that idea, as it
corresponds with the symptoms I see:

AGU? I was just there. San Fran is a beautiful city.
Next year if I go I post about here, and perhaps
there could be an informal IDL users happy hour meeting.

Cheers,

I agree, it's nice. But has anyone figured out how to get it to work
in Emacs?
