The icon compiler, iconc, will give you a true executable. It's a good idea to re-test
the program after compiling as the compiler has more bugs than the interpreter. To
run iconc, you need a C compiler on your system, because it uses the C compiler as a
back end. Your program will probably run significantly faster after it is compiled,
though there are a few programs where it doesn't make much difference.
An alternative is to put iconx somewhere on the other system and set the environment
variable ICONX to point to its location. You can then execute the output of icont
on that system.
