I agree with David. Chances are you would quickly eat up any cost savings
in staying with the PV-WAVE license by rewriting the IDL code. GUI's are
quite different between the two as far as coding is concerned. Behind the
GUI's are the event handlers, which are also quite different. No doubt
that it can be done, just probably not cost-effectively.
