This is a short note to warn users of IDL under VMS of a minor bug in the
latest release (v 2.0.13) I just discovered. If you use the LINKIMAGE
procedure to "hook" in programs to IDL that were written in another language,
say C or FORTRAN, the names of the routines called can be no longer than 14
characters. This restriction was not present in earlier versions of IDL
and it's sudden appearance caused a number of our routines written in C to
break. I called RSI (the maker of IDL) and was told that they were aware of
this bug and that it would be corrected in the next release. They would not
give me a date for this release but judging from the history of releases over
the past year I would expect it in a month more or less. Users who have
access to the SPAN network can get these releases electronically.
