trivial question :
is papco 12 compatible with idl 7 ? what about papco 11 ?
thanks

Hello Etienne,
     Thanks for your post.  I've installed it successfully under IDL
7.0 on Windows, though there are issues.  The introduction of
Workbench causes some problems on Windows:
 *  idlde executable location is changed.  Recent commits to the CVS
repository address this.
 *  The launch mechanism for installing papco the first time
(papco_install.bat) doesn't work now, so the workaround is to start
IDL 7.0, open up and compile papco_initialize.pro, and run it.  Once
installed, the papco_start_papco.cmd knows about IDL 7.0 and how to
launch it.
 *  Workbench wants to open editors for everything it compiles.  This
is about 160 files, which causes Workbench to become unresponsive
until all the editors are initialized.  I'm in the process of trying
to get ITT to realize this is a problem.

My testing is limited to installation and a couple of trial plots on
Windows.  I'm getting ready for a conference, but when I get back I
can do more thorough testing.  Any feedback on your experiences is
appreciated, especially if you report them on the bugs database at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/papco/.

     Since the problems I'm seeing are limited to the installation
procedure and Workbench, my guess is that things should work fine,
even with papco 11, on unix.  Let me know if you find other problems
with papco 11.  I'm not real excited about maintaining a papco 11
branch, but we can do so if papco 12 causes problems for you.
                         Jeremy
