We have IDL for Windows running to at least two PCs here. One is a
notebook 486DX-33 with 8MB of memory and the other is a desktop PC. Both
run all the software from our workstations. We make sure that files that
need to be portable are written in XDR format. The only real limitation is
imposed by DOS and that is the 8 character limit on file names. Our Notebook
PC has a 64 level grey scale LCD display and I am not currently able to use
my own "color" table with it. A help,/device tells me that Windows has
reserved 16 of the 64 available colors and that the device has a STATIC color
map. It is very likely that I just have not figured out how to use the thing
properly yet. All in all, my experiences with IDL for Windows has been very
good. I would recommend it as a reliable piece of software and faithful to
form of the IDLs running on the other platforms. OH, a fast graphics
accelerator make a big difference and should be considered a must.
