What is doubly odd is that, way back during the neolithic computing era, IMSL
turned into or was acquired by Visual Numerics (I don't remember all the
details), which also bought the IDL source code and relabeled it PV-WAVE:

If I recall correctly, PV-WAVE's original differentiation from IDL was that it
included IMSL. Over time PV-WAVE and IDL have diverged in many specifics.
