There are some small differences between UNIX, OS X, and Windows, but it
should work on all of them. I'm more worried about IDL 6.4. The
IDL_IDLBridge was introduced in IDL 6.3, I'm not sure how many bridge
bugs have been fixed since 6.4 and 8.5.1.

That's a bit daunting then. Parallel programming is generally not the
best place to start when learning to program.
I have some library routines and examples in my library that might be
close to what you are doing and hopefully simple to modify for your
needs. My library is at:
https://github.com/mgalloy/mglib
Library routines are in src/multiprocessing and the examples are in
examples/multiprocessing.
