OK. sorry, it doesn't exactly compile it separately, but I believe it
does what our friend asking the question wanted :). Sometimes it can be
necessary: I am part of an experimental group that works out of one unix
account (as a solution to the problem of who owns the data files, maybe
not the best solution -- afs permissions might be better). So, we all
use the same routines, but someone is always doing something stupid like
copying a routine out of one directory into another. So sometimes
several versions exist in severl places (all of which are in the idl
path). So this causes much frustration, and it has become easier to
target the specific file you are after with the "@" include statement.
Sure, we should do a better job of keeping often used routines in one
place with one version (I am trying to use RCS/CVS now to help out with
that), but just to be sure, the "@" makes a lot of sense.
