Uh oh, it looks like another "I started using IDL 3 centures ago at
version -10 on an abacus" thread is in danger of breaking out. Oh well,
might as well accept the inevitable...
I started in late 1992/early 1993 and I *think* it was version 3.1 or
maybe 3.5. (I don't think the intervening version numbers existed). For
16-bit Windows, outlandish though that may seem. It was compiled with
the Watcom compiler, which supported 32-bit flat memory via a DOS
exetender, or some such nonsense. I recall that my PC had 256 MiB of RAM
... no, that can't be right, 256 MiB of *disk space* and 16 MiB of RAM.
