Message-Id: <9307210933.AA15402@medinah.atc.ucarb.com>
To: icon-group@cs.arizona.edu
From: far@medinah.atc.ucarb.com (Forrest Richey)
Subject: Icon for large linguistic projects
Status: R
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
Some time ago I re-posted a message from the Linguist List having to do
with a linguistic software initiative. I had wondered if (and suggested
that) Icon might become more 'popular' by showing utility in such an
initiative.
One reply claimed that Icon would not have such utility since it could not
manage the massive amounts of data/calculations that are often required in
linguistic work.
Since there is a UNIX version, I wondered if Icon might have such
capability after all. And since I didn't see any replies to this
assertion, I'm asking if it's true. (Since I didn't keep the original
message, I can't be more specific.)
Sincerely, Forrest
