VO IDL Software Libraries

Here, you can download the latest IDL libraries that allow you to use IDL with common VO services.  You must have IDL v6.+ with the IDL Java Bridge configured. It is highly recommended that you download the tar package which includes the JAVA classes, setup scripts, and miscellaneous dependency libraries: VOlib_0.1.tar.gz. Installation instructions are provided in the distribution's README. (03/04/05 Fixed Dependency Links to have the actual procedure files.)
VOlib version 0.2 is now available compiled against Java 1.5! VOlib_0.2.tar.gz
In the following table, we provide the source code, links to the library VO standard or service, documentation, and notes.
