I have started using a code base that requires a batch file to set
variables, and start up IDLDE under windows 7.
IDL> help,!version
** Structure !VERSION, 8 tags, length=104, data length=100:
ARCH STRING 'x86_64'
OS STRING 'Win32'
OS_FAMILY STRING 'Windows'
OS_NAME STRING 'Microsoft Windows'
RELEASE STRING '8.0'
BUILD_DATE STRING 'Jun 17 2010'
MEMORY_BITS INT 64
FILE_OFFSET_BITS
INT 64
However, for some reason, this causes IDL to crash on startup most of the
time (about 80%). IDL has the splash screen come up, then start the
progress bar that goes about 20% across, then it is gone - nonresponsive.
The batch file is quite simple, it set's some environment variables, then
executes "start idlde".
I can see no material difference in starting IDL in this batch command, or
'normally' from the icon. The same env variables are set, I then execute
the same startup routines.
Is this a known problem? any ideas on how to go about fixing it? Does
this require a bug report to be filed?
cheers,
bob
