IDL 7.0.6 is a full IDL product release with a core version IDL 7.0.6
and an IDL Workbench version to match. IDL 7.0.6 incorporates all
previous recommended version 7.0.x Workbench updates.
If the IDL session shows version 7.0 instead of 7.0.6 then the older
core IDL 7.0 session is actually being invoked. If so, there are a
couple of different reasons I can think this might be happening:
1.) If the IDL_DIR environment variable in your shell environment is
pointing to the "idl70" directory rather than to the "idl706"
directory, then launching "idl" shell script, even from the idl706/bin
directory, will cause IDL 7.0 to launch. If this might be the case,
try redefining IDL_DIR to point to the idl706 directory or running the
IDL 7.0.6 setup script prior to issuing the "idl" command. For
example:
Bash shell:
export IDL_DIR=/Applications/itt/idl706
-or-
. /Applications/itt/idl706/bin/idl_setup.bash
C or tcsh shell:
setenv IDL_DIR=/Applications/itt/idl706
-or-
source /Applications/itt/idl706/bin/idl_setup
2.) Perhaps a UNIX alias or a symbolic link for the "idl" command is
explicitly launching IDL 7.0. To check this, issue the command:
which idl
-or-
alias idl
If this returns the path to an incorrect symbolic link or an incorrect
alias command, the link or alias can be altered, or try running the
IDL 7.0.6 setup script, as mentioned above, before issuing the "idl"
command to start the IDL 7.0.6 command line session.
If there still seems to be a problem, please send an email to
support@ittvis.com with a subject line "Attention: Jim Uba", and then
I'll continue to work with you directly. I can then post a solution
when we figure what is going wrong.
Hopefully correcting the IDL version problem will allow you use the
CURSOR fix as originally planned.
