[comp.lang.icon] Differences between version 5 and version 7

jnino@cs.utexas.edu (Jaime Nino) (05/04/90)

I am getting started with this language. I got a book written by R. Griswold
and published in 1983 tittled "The Icon programming Language". In the preface
it is indicated that Version 5 is to be used in the book. I'd like to know
how different is Version 5 from version 7 or even version 8. Is it advisable
to go ahead and get an intro to Icon using this book?

Thanks
