Hello All,
Currently I am working on IDL only in the university system and I thought I could install at my home computer. I asked at the Exelis and they sent me a form to get a student version which costs 75 euros.
I have also heard that its possible ot have some sort of free trial version which can be downloaded. but I couldn't find anything online like that. IS this information wrong ? If somthing is legally free, I dont want to pay 75 Euros for it :) Thank you.
Best regards,
Cibi

You could also try one of the free IDL clones
GDL - (Gnu Data Language) http://gnudatalanguage.sourceforge.net/index.php
FL (Fawlty Language) http://www.fawlty.uhostall.com/
They are not completely compatible with IDL and take more work to install, but should run most IDL programs.
