It does indeed! Thanks very much, I can now run IDL in Eclipse/Europa. All I
need do now is configure Europa so it's the same as my previous version of
Eclipse. Or I could configure the IDL workbench so it's the same as my previous
setup for Eclipse...
Oh, and I need to upgrade the IDL license as well.
