Options, in decreasing order of preference:
1) Put Linux on your box ;). As a bonus, in addition to getting
IDLWAVE's most supported environment, you'll be able to allocate
much more memory under Linux IDL than Windows IDL on the same
system.
2) Buy a Mac. IDLWAVE works well under OSX, which has a capable
BSD-derived Unix layer, and an X11-based Unix IDL. You'll still be
able to use your Microsoft products too.
3) Beg RSI for a Windows command line IDL. IDLWAVE works fine under
Windows with Emacs, it just has no IDL shell to communicate with.
4) Use IDLWAVE as your editor, and IDLDE to compile. I know a few
people do this, but I'm not sure what the easiest work-flow is
(anyone?).
