Too right. It's a case of "Here's my code: you'll need to install this
free package to use it" versus "Here's my code: You'll need to cough up
�1000 to RSI to use it". (IDL 6 addresses this to some extent with the VM,
but that doesn't help if you want the person you are giving your code to to
do anything with it apart from run it.)
