This plea prompts me to mention the following. A while ago I modified a
calendar program I wrote in Icon several years ago to function on the World
Wide Web. It ported quite easily, and it was apparent to me that writing
programs for the web is easier, since you don't have to worry about screen
control very much. The browsers do it for you. I had thought of publishing
the code here, but decided it was too unesthetic, as I simply commented out
a good deal of the code in the MS-DOS version, and left it hanging. I am
always wary of deleting stuff, sometimes one's finger slips, and you take
out something essential. If anyone is interested, I could send it to you.
