I have really enjoyed following the developments of the ICON language that
have been shared with the icon-group.  I sort of like the request that was 
a simple question, "WHAT IS THE ICON LANGUAGE?"

It might be of great value if all group recipients could receive a few statementthat share the similarities as well as the differences ICON has with other 
currently used languages, primarily C, but, also pascal, and even perhaps 
simpler languages such as BASIC.  

I think that some of these introductory messages may serve well in the drawing
of individuals with programming into the group.

Bob
