This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Icon programming
language environment.

This package was built by Christian Hudon <chrish@debian.org>
from sources obtained from:
	ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/icon/packages/unix/unix.tar.gz

Please see the file /usr/share/doc/iconx/changelog.Debian.gz for a list
of changes made to the original Icon package for integration into Debian.

The Icon programming language environment is in the public domain. The
original notice follows:

version of this system given to a third party should clearly identify your

Installation instructions and other documentation are available from the
Icon web site listed below.

Please note:  This distribution includes both a compiler and an interpreter,
but only the interpreter is supported.  It gets into execution quickly and
is fast enough for almost all applications.  Although the compiler produces
programs that run faster, it requires a large amount of memory and disk
space and is slow to get into execution, and we no longer maintain it.
