In compute!'s amiga resource premiere issue there is a brief
discription of programing languages available for the amiga.

Included is Basic (Amiga, AC, True, F-, GFA, SAM), C (Lattice and
Manx), Pascal (MCC version 2), Modula-2 (TDI, Benchmark, M2) and Machine
Language (no specific products mentioned).  They also mention Director,
ADVSYS and Arexx.

In a box marked

A Taste of the Exotic are:

Draco

Icon

XLISP

I've seen mention to Draco and XLISP in this news group but have never heard
of ICON.

Questions:

(1)  Has if really been written for the Amiga?  

(2) How could someone with only a connection to this news group (and ftp)
get a working copy?


Any pointers to an appropriate array of information would be appreciated.
