Well, I am trying to keep everything of a piece. :-)
Dick Jackson gave me a tip that appears to have worked.
Apparently, once you have installed the Subversion
plug-in, it is not possible (at least no one I know has
been successful) to import a directory from a repository.
But, if you import a directory in some other way
(I used TortoiseSVN), then you make a project in
IDL out of that directory, the Subversion plug-in
does seem to work in this case. At least when I open
the project up I can see the repository connected to
the project, and what must be version numbers associated
with each file. I haven't yet tried to check a change
in, but maybe today.
I am *trying* to use IDL 8.1, but it's an effort. This
version does appear to be more stable on my Windows
machine (they have again separated the JAVA and IDL
processes on Windows machines, which was the source of
so much fragility in IDL 8.0), but I am still struggling
with annoyances. The Compile/Run buttons don't work,
for example, if you run a main-level program with an
error in it. And I have struggled to make sense of how
to set and remove breakpoints. They seem to have a mind
of their own, and not a very big mind at that. :-(
Cheers,
David
