This would be on my own personal machine and the software for IRIX
goes for like $1200 while the student version for Windows is only $80,
man that ruined my day!!! I asked the systems admin for the Imaging
Science department and he said he isn't able to help me out with a
license, so I emailed Rsinc.com and hope they can give me a break in
the price, worth a shot anyway...anyone looking to dump their IDL
stuff for a price?? or do a license transfer, if they allow that at
all?? Thanks for the feedback.
