Icon folks running Microsoft Windows may be interested in trying out the
latest set of binaries, available by ftp to ringer.cs.utsa.edu, directory
pub/icon/nt/graphics. Changes were made in response to various user
requests. There are also non-graphics NT (runs under Win95 too) console
binaries in pub/icon/nt/console. These files will also be available from
the Arizona site after they are copied over. The source codes will get
updated a little later.
Here are the highlights from the READ.ME file;
Native Windows facilities: Icon programs can now access Windows menus,
buttons, scrollbars, and common dialogs. These facilities are under
construction, but far enough along to be useful. See IPD 271 for
documentation. Comments would be appreciated.
Wi.icn, an Icon programming environment that replaces, simplifies, and
fixes bugs reported in Wicon.exe. Wi.icn also serves as a demonstration
of Icon's native Windows interface facilities. It is ~550 lines of Icon.
cicont.exe, a Windows NT (and Windows 95) command-line version of icont,
functionally equivalent to wicont.exe. Note that Windows NT console
binaries for Icon version 9.3 are also available.
The help files now have keywords for Windows Help searches.
A bugfix in field access, seen as spurious runtime errors in certain
graphics applications.
As always, I appreciate your comments and suggestions!
