No, you can't use IDL DLMs. .flm and .dlm file are similar, but they
describe the interface only. The actual DLM source code is very different.
FL is written in C++, uses some builtin C++ types for basic data types
(std::string for strings, std::complex for complex numbers), so the DLM
code must be also C++. However, the object oriented approach results in
simpler and more readable code, eg. keyword handling is much easier (well,
if you have basic C++ knowledge :-).

Yes. I am not sure that the resulting file is 100% EPS compatible, but I
have no problem using it in TeX.
