Well, it is not as easy as it *used* to be, when IDL and
PV-WAVE were the same product. :-)

(This question always makes me think fondly of the days
when a bunch of us from the two companies would spend
all day long trying to bash each other's brains out,
stealing each other's customers, and then go out and
have a few drinks together, seeing who could tell the
biggest lies about the day's accomplishments. I always
won...at least in the way I told the story. :-)

But the real answer here is that "yes", you can
usually convert a program in one program to that in
the other program. Depending upon what kinds of things
that program is doing, you either have a hell of a lot
of work to do or none at all.

Cheers,

David
