Icon Version 8.8 for MSDOS 386/486 is available from the Icon project
via anonymous ftp (cs.arizona.edu). Its ICONX runs Icon programs
in 32-bit protected mode and can access memory above the conventional
1 MB limit. It was compiled using the Intel DOS extender. According
to the documentation, the address space can be as large as 4 GB. I
don't know if ICONT was built in the same way, however I know that
it can handle Icon source modules containing many more symbols than its
predecessors could.
