Subject: Versions 9.3.2 of Icon and IPL available for Unix
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@optima.CS.Arizona.EDU
Status: RO
Version 9.3.2 of Icon for Unix, and version 9.3.2 of the Icon
program library, are now available from the Icon web site:
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/v93u.htm (Icon for Unix)
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/ipl93.htm (Icon program library)
Source code is available for Icon and for the library. Binaries of
Icon are available for several common Unix platforms. Precompiled
ucode files of the library procedures are also available.
For the Icon source code, this is primarily a maintenance release.
The code has been reworked and simplified to increase portability.
An ANSI C compiler is now required, and UNIX systems are expected
to supply a POSIX (1003.1-1988) library. This new source release
is sufficiently portable that it also builds on the Be operating
system (see www.be.com), albeit without graphics.
Version 9.3.2 adds one new feature to Icon: The files in a directory
can be listed by opening the directory as a file. Subsequent reads
return the names of the files contained in the directory. The names
are returned in no particular order, and for Unix, the directories
"." and ".." are included.
The program library update reflects all the changes that have
accumulated since the release of version 9.3.1 in December of 1997,
and includes several new programs, procedures, and packages.
