    Yes, I had momentarily forgotten. Even though I had a hand
    in making it available!

    5.3 IDO was made free and along with IDF/IDL for IRIX 6.2
    (and 6.3 and 6.4). 5.3IDO and IDF/IDL for IRIX6.[234] were
    officially declared freely sharable and copyable.

    These are still available in the directories:
    ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/
    ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX6.2/
    ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX6.3/
    ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX6.4/

    The 'copyable sharable' part being quite unusual for SGI products.

    Thanks for the reminder (Brent B. reminded me too!).
