Hello,

I don't know diddle about how IDL and MatLab might work together - but
I suspect anything is possible.

Sharing data? If you mean sharing data via files, then you do have
some options... like the myriad netCDF, HDF, CDF etc. You might also
look at the GEN_Read and Gen_Write routines that a number of people
have worked on. These have worked for our purpose of shoving data
between the two applications. These routines are not as generic as
their names imply (at least not yet - modifications, improvements
welcome!) They do seem to handle the row/column major swapping pretty
well which is the trickiest part. (GEN_routines are located at
www.tidewater.net/~pemaquid)
