Yes. Emacs has a major mode for editing IDL code, idl.el, written by Chris Chase. Get the files: idl.el and idl-shell.el idl.el is an Emacs major mode for editing IDL and WAVE .pro files. idl-shell.el is an Emacs major mode for interacting with an inferior IDL process. Both modes momentarily do not have a maintainer. To preserve their internet accessability, the recent versions are supplied at: ftp://pivory.mpae.gwdg.de/pub/idl/emacs/ http://pivory.mpae.gwdg.de/idl/emacs/ http://www.mpae.gwdg.de/mpae_RZ/software/idl/emacs/ Two corrections have been made in the IDL mode for Emacs (idl.el). Fixes in version 1.41: • JD Smith corrected a bug in his 1.39 fix: In the fontification (colorization) of IDL object code, in some cases only two letters after the “::” were fontified correctly. • Due to incomplete version checking, Emacs 20 was calling code intended for Emacs versions 19.29 and less.
