Re: IDL 5.4 and MacOS 9.1

["Dominik Paul" <dpaul(at)ukl.uni-freiburg.de>]

IDL was installed and startet a couple of times, the Mac was NOT on a
network and no startup file was used.
It tooks a extrem long time to come to a window, where I can choose my
preferences (there are RSI and my own settings, which I can choose).
But, maybe, what I forgot to say, that we (at the moment) only  own a
testing version for 30 days, because we wanted to run our programms on a
different system (we normaly use Sun and Windows, but now want to see, if
the mac is faster). So maybe this problem comes with the testversion.
