I'm not sure about UNIX installations, but every Windows CD-ROM
I've ever installed has installed a run-time version of IDL
along with the regular version. But since you *have* to
install IDL to have either version available, the question
seems moot to me. What difference would it make which
version they ran your application in?

Also realize that your IDL save file is going to be
version specific. That will easily cut out a large
faction of your potential users unless you provide
save files for *all* expected IDL versions.

Cheers,

David
