Mr. Plow,
I've been using Icon since 1984. I use it every day. There are programs
I've written in Icon that I use regularly to format text, generate reports
from simple databases, create web pages, handle CGI requests, etc. I get
calls on programs I wrote in Icon over 10 years ago that are still used in
the company where I work. I'm sure others will chime in with similar stories.
Anyone who looks in my bag of tools will see that Icon is well used but
hardly worn out. Icon is not dead. Did you have a real question?
Jerry
