Much to my surprise I did >not even have 1.1b3 installed, instead I only had 1.0.1 installed. Today >when I installed 1.1b3, wham, the idv.rbi file appeared. Sorry about the >slight mislead. Ah, that clears up the mystery.

I'm glad that the IDV is helping you in your work. If you have other suggestions, please let us know.
