Yes, the entry is below. I can't seem to figure out a way to give you a
link to it, but it's on the 4th page of IDL contributions.

wincl_7.0.0.1.zip

Windows console application that provides functionality historically
found in the Unix command-line IDL, with some new, additional features.
� Redirect output to file � Keyboard shortcuts � Command recall � Lists
previous IDL commands issued � TAB command matching � IDL MP mode,
allows creation of multiple IDL sessions � IDL MP session can be a mix
of 32-bit and 64-bit processes � Can post "asynchronous" commands to IDL
MP sessions Full details and installation instructions can be found in
the .doc file contained in download .zip file. Be sure and check out the
list of issues and bugs at the end of the doc. Updates: 7.0.0.1 � Added
support for run-time distributions, i.e. will first look in the same
directory as the idl.exe to locate the necessary IDL files. If found,
will use those. Otherwise, will attempt to locate an official IDL
install location. 7.0.0.0 � Initial implementation
File size 95
Downloads 70
