That's an unfair comparison. Have you done an IDL vs. MATLAB pricing
comparison lately? Compared to MATLAB, IDL delivers some serious value.
And while I haven't asked in a while, RS-err ITTVIS has always been
very generous in providing trial licenses to their products. So I'm sure
if you wanted to try IDL Analyst you could, free of charge.
