A minor point of information: the dongle was first required on IDL 3.6.1
for Windows, which shipped last September, as I recall. (At least it was on
my copy.)

I, too, don't like dongles. I recall a Usenet posting last year complaining
that IDL couldn't find the dongle when Windows for Workgroups
networking was active. However I have been pleasantly surprised to find that
the same combination has given me no problems.
