The programs in the IDL Astronomy Library should work in V5.6 and all later versions of IDL. Frozen versions of the IDL Astronomy library compatible with older versions of IDL are available in the old directory, but these will be missing more recent updates and bug fixes. There are also V6.0, V6.1, and V6.4 directories which contain modifications of a few IDL Astronomy Library procedures to take advantage of features introduced in newer versions of IDL. The procedures in these directories will not work in earlier versions of IDL. I currently only have access to IDL on Unix (Solaris & Linux) and Macintosh machines, though I try to maintain Windows compatibility.
