I guess you are using the newsgroup. I think most people use the mailing
list (I certainly do). Messages to the mailing list don't seem to get
transferred to the newsgroup - I don't know why.
To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to
icon-group-request@cs.arizona.edu asking to be put on the mailaing list.
The UoA home page for Icon is at:
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/index.htm
There is a lot going on with Icon - the Graphics book is about to be
released, a new (maintenance I think) version of the language has just
been announced.
Icon can be used for just about anything. I have just recently used it
for a simple random text generation program, and had just finished
playing with a simple genetic algorithm demonstrator when I saw your
message. I have also written spreadsheets, databases, text editors,
document formatters, etc. - and I am a complete beginner compared with
some of the guys who contribute to the mailing list.

P.S. You should check your email address - I sent a message to your
address (mr-plow@springfield.net) and it was bounced.
