Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to view the Venus Express Data without purchasing the $2500.00 IDL software?
I get the impression thats the only way. I am a novice amateur and looking for alternatives. thanks

I know nothing about this tool, but your error description is multiple lines. The issue is "Error opening file VIR0499_02.CAL" which probably means the permissions or path are not allowing the program to open the file for reading.

thank you. The path was the problem. However I later discovered there were functions that IDL had that GDL did not have yet according to comparison chart I found on the web so GDL turns out for me to not be the best way to go.
