: During the European IDL users meeting last week we had a long discussion with
: Mr. David Stern, owner of RSI about porting IDL to unsupported operating
: systems such as Linux, Intel Solaris, OS/2:

: It will be done if there is enough request to justify one additional person at
: RSI to support the port. There is at least one person at RSI responsible for
: one operating system and there is a lot of work to be done. To port the kernel
: seems to be no big deal but IDL consists of additional programs such as
: interface to Motif, MS Windows GDI, ... and external routines such as
: netCDF, XDR, OLE (to name a few) and others which have to be maintained
: in a time schedule which is not synchronized with new IDL versions.

: To have IDL ported to other operating systems we must indicate enough
: request. Thus the port to Linux is no longer a matter of porting IDL to a
: public domain operating system.

Who do we contact to express support ? RSI, the IDL Users Group or yourself ?
