+> **Note**: IDLWAVE is currently not maintained. In current form it supports
IDL v8.6, and is still in daily use by some users.
+If you are interested in taking over IDLWAVE maintenance, please post an
issue. See the DEVELOP file for information
+on the file structure layout.
+
+IDLWAVE is an add-on mode built into GNU Emacs which enables feature-rich
+development and interaction with IDL, the Interactive Data Language.
+It provides a compelling, full-featured alternative to the IDLDE
+development environment bundled with IDL.
+
+
+In addition to the Emacs package and its documentation, this
+repository also includes:
+
+idlwave_catalog A Perl program to produce your own library catalog
+ ".idlwave_catalog" files.
+
+tutorial.pro Intentionally buggy practice source code for the
+ tutorial. See the`Getting Started' section in the
+ manual.
+CHANGES The package history
