Matlab, the competitor of IDL, can be translated to C++. It's important
if you write something as a royalty free, standalone applications. But if
your write something in IDL, you have to buy it's runtime licence to run
it. Am I right? Then it's hard to sell your products bucause you need to
buy idl runtime licence ( it costs about $1,000) for each your products.
Any solution for this? If you can teach me solve this, I world like give
you 50% idl runtime licence fee.
Thanks,

Well, I used Deja News to search for the thread I was thinking
of:
" Compiling IDL ... ever likey ?"
and this was quoted in it:
"A few thoughts about the (ever-recurring) IDL compiler discussion:
1. One exists for internal use at RSI. When one makes a big
application for redistribution they can create an executable version of
of your application for you. This is quite expensive. The Visible
Human CD is a demonstration of this approach."
I guess you contacted RSI and they said this was innacurate?
Soudns like it would be more expensive than buying some run-time
licenses anyway! :)

Not true! Maybe you are confused by their runtime version and the
stand-alone royalty free routine.

I'm sure somebody on the newsgroup will correct me if I'm wrong,
but I seem to recall a post some time back saying that RSI
(the guys who produced IDL) have the capability of converting
IDL code into a stand-alone routine (presumably by linking
in all the IDL libraries and routines statically?)
You may want to email RSI directly and ask them about this.

Have you ever heard of Matcom?
