Something Has Changed [message #61453]

Folks,

I usually teach in my IDL Programming courses that if you
are at the IDL command line and you type "junk" that
IDL goes looking through the IDL PATH for a file "junk.sav",
then failing to find that, "junk.pro".

In the former case, IDL would restore the already compiled
routine, whereas in the latter case, it would have to
compile the file.

This seems no longer to be the case. If I have a "save" file
and a "pro" file in my local directory, the "pro" file is always
compiled. The "save" file is ignored.

Does anyone know when this behavior changed? It is this way
in IDL 6.4 and IDL 7.0.3 for sure.

Cheers,

David
