There are a number of low-level routines of the map projection engine in a DLM. Without special skills, you have no chance of getting at those, and you would probably be on soft legal grounds if you could. As people say, you get what you pay for. Your time and effort required for solving this problem would likely exceed the cost of an IDL license. Life's too short, use your time wisely!

I've tried things like "Routine_Info", and "which" to find out the location of MAP_PROJ_GCTP_FORINIT, but with no luck. I guess internal files are embedded in the executable.
