Damn,
I look away for a moment, and I miss it. Never heard about
this. Normally the linux community is big on publicising this sort
of stuff.
Ah well. back to trying to get IDL for windows to run under
WINOS2 under DOSEMU under Linux.....
If the demo is still available anywhere, I'd appreciate an
E-mail with the location. We are an all IDL shop here, but I dont
use widgets myself so could make the transition to pv-wave.

Little bit annoyed about the complete lack of noises here.
filled in the RSI form + sent it off. We have asked the local distributors
about the progress, and no info has come back at all. If they just said
"no-way" then that would be better than keeping us hanging around.

Dear RSI,
Please let us know what you are up to. If you are not sure that
we are profitable enough for you, Then how about a statically linked
SCO-386 binary we could run under iBCS2 instead? That would shut
us up :-), and kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks for your time,

OB IDL,
The 3.5.1 -> 3.6.1c (Alpha OSF) release changed something in how
the code segment was allocated. I have program that insists on crashing
under 3.5.1 with "% Program unit has too many local variables."
This is resistant to fiddling with the .size keyword. (yep, I know it
has to be the first command). Fixed in 3.6.1c.
Question - How can I get it to work under 3.5.[0-1] ? In some cases
upgrading is not "practical".
