To use the programs with Callable IDL, you will need both a Makefile
and a shell script. The flags use by IDL are different for a Sun
and and SGI machine. Here are links to examples of each for the different
machines:
First you will need to run the make procedure to compile the program.
Then you will have to run the shell script to execute the code. For
instructions, see Compiling Callable IDL (from
Fortran).
