To clarify the situation, there is a public-domain version of Icon available from the Icon Project, but it is not a stand-alone application and requires the MPW to run. MPW is a subsystem for the Macintosh that vaguely resembles UNIX. Running Icon under MPW is similar to running Icon under UNIX -- a command-line environment without the usual graphical interface. ProIcon is a standard Macintosh application that has an integrated environment with an editor that allows you to write and debug Icon programs without leaving the application. ProIcon also has several extensions to Icon, including some capabilities for manipulating windows and handling dialogs from within a ProIcon program. Version 2.0 of ProIcon, which is scheduled for release later this month, also has an interface to HyperCard XCMDs and XFCNs. For information about ProIcon, contact: Catspaw, Inc. P.O.
