I wonder if XENIX users reading this group might take a moment to let a soon-to-be XENIX user know what hardware they are using, and any tips I might want to know about in using Icon in this environ- ment. I'm coming from the BSD 4.3 and MS-DOS worlds, and I'm dread- fully worried about incompatibilities and other assorted chinks in the armor of 32-bit extensions to AT busses and XENIX/386. -Richard L.

Richard, I ported ICON to Xenix/386 with no difficulties. I believe the configuration files for Xenix/386 are now included with the ICON distibution. My own system is an IBM ps2/80, and the ICON benchmark suite produced very acceptable results, faster than a Sun 3/160 or any DOS or OS/2 version of ICON on the same machine, including the protected mode DOS version. The only ICON feature I did not implement is co-expressions. If you need the configuration files or other information, let me know. Ronald Florence ...{hsi!aati,rayssd}!mlfarm!ron
