Just thought I would let you know:

An interactive Icon interpreter is what I am currently working on for
my Master's Thesis.  I am merging the source code for the translator
and executor, icont & iconx, into a single program, iconi, which will
translate, link, and execute single Icon expressions interactively.  I
have already done some of the work, but have quite a bit left.

If anyone is interested in the interpreter, please let me know and I
will let you know when I have finished my work.
