I was recently was told that there was an ICON Programming
language interpreter that had been posted onto the net
in some unremembered newsgroup sometime in the not too
distant past. In looking through several (out of date?) lists
of source code available on the usual UNIX archives, I did
not see anything referencing such a thing . Does anybody
have it or know where I can find it? I should say that I don't
have Internet access, so I'd be limited to email and/or
dialup archives. I wish to run it on a '286 clone with
uPort V/AT that I have at home.
Thanks in advance.

arizona.edu is the Home of Icon. Here's a copy of a part of
arizona.edu:icon/README
I don't see a number for the Icon RBBS, but I'll bet a message
to the contact listed would extract that pretty quickly, as
well as instructions for ordering tapes & floppies.
There are a couple of ICON books out as well.
Good luck.

Most of the files listed below are available both via an
anonymous FTP from arizona.edu and from the Icon RBBS.
Most of the files are the same for FTP and the RBBS, although
some are too large for practical transfer over telephone lines
outside the local calling area.

The phone number for the Icon BBS is (602) 621-2283. The Unix source does have configuration information for uPort V/AT, but you may find that source to be rather large for downloading by phone. If you decide you want information on ordering diskettes, let me know.
