I have been reading this notesfile for awhile, and must say I am mystified by
its very presence. What is ICON? What is so special about it as a lanaguage
that it merits its own notesfile? So far, most of what I've read has been
about ICON bugs in Amiga! I would appreciate some explanation about the
purpose of this language and whether it is at all worth learning.
