Version 8.7 of Icon for OS/2
Version 8.7 of Icon runs under OS/2 2.0. It is a 32-bit appli-
cation. A math co-processors is supported and used if present;
otherwise software emulation is used.
This implementation of Icon is in the public domain and may be
copied and used without restriction. The Icon Project makes no
warranties of any kind as to the correctness of this material or
its suitability for any application. The responsibility for the
use of Icon lies entirely with the user.
The basic reference for Version 8 of Icon is the second edi-
tion of the book The Icon Programming Language [1]. This book is
available from the Icon Project at The University of Arizona. It
also can be ordered through any bookstore that handles special
orders.
2.__Installing_OS/2_Icon
Two executable binary files are needed to run Icon:
icont.exe translator
iconx.exe executor
These files should be located at a place on your PATH specifica-
tion.
The distribution is contained in several files in ZIP
format. The distribution files are:
docs.zip documents
icon.zip executable binary files
readme installation overview and recent notes
samples.zip Icon programs and data
To install the .exe files, set your current directory to the
desired place, place the appropriate distribution diskette in
drive A, and dearchive the files there using unzip.exe. For
example, to dearchive the executable binary files, the following
will do:
unzip a:icon
The same technique can be used for extracting the remaining
files.
