[comp.lang.icon] Icon compiler status report

ralph@CS.ARIZONA.EDU ("Ralph Griswold") (02/15/91)

We've successfully installed the Icon compiler at our site
on the following UNIX platforms, using the default C compiler in
each case:

	DECstation 3100		Ultrix
	HP 9000/300		HP/UX
	Intel 386		System V
	Iris 4d			System V + BSD extensions
	NeXT			Mach
	Sequent Symmetry	Dynix
	Sun 3			SunOS
	Sun 4			SunOS
	VAX 8650		4.3BSD
	
We've started beta testing on other platforms at other sites.

We hope to have a preliminary version of the Icon compiler in
executable form for these platforms in a few weeks.  We'll
make source code available later.

Please direct any questions to me, not icon-group.

One reason I have seldom used Icon is that it is (was?) not interactive
like Lisp or ML.  Any hope of this changing (or has it already)?
