File Extension IDOL

File type: Object Library - Bytecode

The IDOL file type is primarily associated with 'Idle Scripting Language' by Thomas Lauer. Idle is a scripting language, in basically the same vein as Perl or Python. It is, however, a more lightweight application. At the core of Idle sits a tweaked and enhanced version of Lua. Idle inherits from Lua its language definition as well as a highly-optimised interpreter kernel (a fast compiler is included as well). Idle, like Lua, is readily extended with additional functions and libraries (which can be written either in C/C++ or in Idle itself).

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open IDOL files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
