You can't download the software yet, but we are soliciting comments,
corrections, and suggestions on the manuscript for our new book "Programming
with Unicon" (formerly titled "Programming with Icon"), which is available
in PDF format on our web site (http://icon.cs.unlv.edu), thanks to help from
volunteer Kostas Oikonomou.
The book describes the core language you know and love, the portable system
and internet interface, the new object oriented facilities, packages,
parameter coercion syntax, a new OO GUI class library and interface builder,
compiler writer's tools, substantive example application areas, and the
valuable and underutilized Icon procedure and program libraries.
Its 474 pages with lots of graphics, so the book is a large download.
We are sure there will be many changes and improvements between now and
the book's publication...thanks to your help!
