The repeated use of the word "premium" on the ITTVIS website makes me
suspect that this will be an additional cost. The addition of IMSL
is less needed than it once was, now that there are ~20 LAPACK routines
within IDL, and public domain numerical libraries (e.g. NETLIB) that
can be linked to IDL are more easily accessible. But the
well-documented integration of IMSL into IDL would ease the use of IDL
for numerical calculations.

But I wonder more about the partnership of IDL with IMSL. I believe
that IMSL is licensed by Visual Numerics, the company which also
licenses PV-WAVE. One of the old selling points of PV-WAVE vs.
IDL has been the availibility of the IMSL libraries within PV-WAVE.
Does this partnership signal a future (re)-merger of IDL and PV-WAVE?
