Subject: Announcing Version 2 of Jcon

We are pleased to announce the availability of Version 2 of Jcon.
Jcon is a new Java-based implementation of the Icon programming language.
The Jcon translator, written in Icon, generates Java class files that
execute in conjunction with a run-time system written in Java.
Version 2 of Jcon is an essentially complete implementation of Icon,
including graphics and large integers. A few minor features are missing
-- mostly things like chdir() that cannot be done in Java.
The performance of Version 2 is considerably improved over Version 1,
although it still isn't as fast as the standard Icon interpreter.
For more information, or to download Jcon, go to our web page:
