Yes, but who needs the IDLDE? We make extensive use of CVS, and the VC
version control mode, along with the IDLWAVE IDL development environment
under Emacs make a powerful combination. There are even other
power-user CVS modes available, but VC does almost everything. My
favorite? "Hmm... I've really trashed this file. Wonder what I did?"
[C-x v =], and presto, a diff between on server and local versions.
Other favorite [C-x v g]: color-coded annotated line-by-line display of
last edit date and person. Who's this damn jds screwing with my code...
ohhh.
