64-bit IDL and 64-bit IDL

[w2naf at aim.com]

Thank you so much, James!  



I cannot believe what an easy fix that was.  I'm a graduate student at Virginia Tech in the new SuperDARN lab, and sometimes these linux boxes are really tricky.




Have a good day!

The problem is that the script that runs IDL assumes the existence of
/bin/arch which is not present in Debian-based systems. 

Fix:
replace "/bin/arch" with "uname -m" in the driver script.
