Several days ago I announced the availibility of a technical report that
describes a version of Unipress (aka Gosling's) Emacs which contains Icon
as an embedded language.  A number of persons have inquired about the
availability of the software.  I thought about this a good bit, but for
the time being I don't believe I'm willing to distribute the system.
Basically, although I've been using it every day for about six months
(minus the few days since our 4.2 switch), I don't think it's quite ready
to spring on the general public.  The system needs a general clean-up and
I've also gotten some new ideas and thus I'd like to put some more time
into it before I'd feel good about making it available.

I was sort of thinking about junking the whole thing when I heard that
CCA Emacs with Elisp was due very soon, but now it looks like we might
have some fatal licensing problems with CCA Emacs, and thus I've recently
been thinking seriously about putting enough work into my Unipress-Emacs+Icon
system so that I could promote its use.
