Can someone please explain the past, present and future relationship between
IDL (and Research Systems Inc) and PVWAVE (and Precision Visuals)? I had sort
of assumed that RSI had sold it to PVI but now I read that RSI are releasing a
new Motif / Open Look product called IDLwidgets. Is this the same as the PVWAVE
point and click product? Are both products continuing to be developed
separately? Or are they in fact continuing to be developed together?
