But that's only a solution until you upgrade your OS and find that
the current binaries no longer work. Or you upgrade your license server
and need new license keys.

I certainly hope they continue to maintain and develop the core IDL
package. That's the one we rely on here. Switching to any other package
would be a major headache for us - our routine day-to-day data
processing and graphics is built on IDL.

We will be keeping a close watch on developments at RSI/Kodak.
