I haven't used it myself, but from the posts on this newsgroup I
understand:

1. It runs on *nix and Max OS X, but not on Windows
2. It's fully syntax compatible with IDL, i.e. all language constructs
are understood.
3. The library is implemented only partially. In particular, no GUI
stuff is available yet, and only part of the direct graphics routines.
