[comp.lang.icon] Icon and X-windows

cjeffery@CS.ARIZONA.EDU (Clinton Jeffery) (10/20/90)

We are using an Icon X Windows interface internally here in our
program visualization research.  There is a 15 page reference
document describing it, Icon Project Document 150.  The interface
is built on top of Xlib.  There is no public distribution that
includes the X Windows interface at this time.

Interested persons may obtain more information from me by electronic
mail.  I would also enjoy hearing from persons who are working on
Icon interfaces to other window systems.

I have the project of using the variant translator capability of Icon,
as well as the personalized interpreter, in order to define an extension
to Icon interfaced with X-windows. The idea would be to have a very
powerful and flexible language for prototyping interactive graphic
environments. 

Has anybody already attempted something similar? Has anybody any
interesting idea about this matter?
