Seurity officers aren't supposed to be happy, it's their job. IDL doesn't
care where you put your program files, so you have the choice of putting
them in one common (mounted) directory on the network...or going through the
hassle of synchronizing the directories on all your workstations. If
mounting the unix directory to the pc is not an option, how about sharing a
directory on the pc so that your unix machines can mount it? I suggest
keeping your IDL *.pro files separate from the RSI installation directory,
that way you can run different licensed copies of IDL across the network and
specify your mounted directory containing your *.pro files in IDL's path
settings. I know Exceed or Hummingbird supports mounting an NT dir from
unix, we've had that working before. Hope this helps,
