This diskette contains Version 8 of the Icon program library.
The Icon program library files are packaged in "pak" format.
They can be unpacked into individual files using either unpack.icn
or unpack.c, both of which are provided on the disk. Both take .pak
files from standard input, as in
unpack <procs.pak
The library consists of programs, procedures, and data. It is designed
so that these components can be kept in separate directories, such as "procs",
"progs", and "data". Translate the procedure first, since they are needed
when compiling the programs. The scripts trans.bat and comp.bat can
be used for translating the procedure and compiling the programs.
On systems that do not support environment variables, or for which the
Icon IPATH environment variable does not work, the "ucode" files produced by
translating the procedures mus be in the same directory as the programs.
The simplest way to do this is to put the procedures and programs in the
same directory. Alternatively, the .u1 and .u2 files produced by
translating the procedures can be moved into the directory containing
the programs before the programs are compiled.
In addition to the Icon program library proper, Idol, an object-oriented
version of Icon written in Icon, is included on the distribution
diskette. Unpack idol.pak and see the instructions there.
