I wrote to RSI support to voice my 'disappointment' in their decision to
drop
support for Tru64, as William Thompson also did. I never got an answer
from RSI, which is yet another disappointment. I have been a fierce
defender of IDL for more then a decade, but this latest news has really
put me in a jam.

I did get an invitation from PV-WAVE (Visual Numerics)
to convert my license to PV-WAVE. The letter had the interesting phrase:

"Cross-platform compatibility is a big concern, especially for
existing customers. The time to consider commercial viability is before
adding a platform to the supported list, not after you have customers."

Too bad that RSI did not follow that advice. Has anyone else gotten
a response to a personal letter indicating unhappiness with their
decision to drop Tru64 support?
