Keywords: Can MPW tools run stand alone ?

Here's a question for you MPW experts.  I've ported a programming
language into the MPW environment (the Icon language) and it works just
fine.  The problem:  Icon fans would like to have a stand-alone version
that doesn't need MPW.  Icon is public domain, and is normally
distributed for the cost of distribution by the University of Arizona.
It consists of a translator, linker, and interpreter.  As it stands,
MacIcon is available only to those who are willing to spend $150 (March
1 price) on the MPW shell.

My question:  Is there a fairly simple way to make programs written as
MPW tools stand alone?

It appears that MPW console i/o is capable of running stand-alone.  The
main problem is getting the program loaded and passing parameters to
it.

Any ideas would be severely appreciated!
