(1) Icon really has been ported to the Amiga, along with several dozen
    other operating systems and architectures.
(2) Icon (including sources) is in the public domain.  If you can't find it
    elsewhere, you can order a copy directly from the University of Arizona
    for a small handling fee.  To get ordering information, write to

Icon Project
Department of Computer Science
University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ, 85721

To read about Icon and see if you are interested, you can read
"The Icon Programming Language", by Griswold and Griswold,
Prentice Hall 1983.

I would be happy to answer (or forward) any further questions via EMAIL.
