IDL and PV Wave are very similar products having a common ancestor (an older
version of IDL). The above description could apply equally well to IDL.

I don't know about PV-Wave, but IDL's C interface is *very* easy to use, IMHO.
I think that this feature is one of those that is *not* identical between the
two packages, but can't be positive.
