I will be teaching a programming languages course this Spring and am looking to teach a string manipulation language. ICON is one natural choice. However, I have a zero budget. This leaves me with awk as my only choice. I don't think it is bad choice, but ICON would be better. Is there a free ICON interpretter out there? Jack
