I guess the good folks at RSI have already thought of this!
I found this Tech Tip on their web page this afternoon:
http://www.rsinc.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=3577
To create a SAVE file you need to call an undocumented routine
named IDLITRESOLVEITOOLS. Basically, this routine does what
I was trying to do, although it finds all the right files. :-)
The code sequence that worked for me was this:
IDL> .compile test_itools
IDL> IDLITRESOLVEITOOLS
IDL> Resolve_All
IDL> Save, File='test_itools.sav', /Routines
Works great as a run-time and in the Virtual Machine.
Cheers,
David
