Portable Icon v9.5.2 for Microsoft Windows, revision 7

Portable Icon 9.5.2 for Microsoft Windows

The Icon programming language https://cs.arizona.edu/icon/ is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that is in the public domain. Icon programs translated by the Icon translator ("icont") can be run by the Icon interpreter ("iconx").

Frequently, Icon can be an expressive and enjoyable way to write software. You might find it helpful to copy the framework for writing and running Icon programs to your home directory.

This repository provides is a small, portable collection of binary and library files for running version Icon 9.5.2 on Microsoft Windows in a manner similar to how Icon runs on Unix.

How to use

Unzip the zipfile in a convenient location, then read the README.md for an introduction.

Release notes

• This release is intended to support conda build 1 of the icon package in the eschen42 channel on anaconda.org.
• This revision fixes resolves more double-quote issues, improves documentation, and identifies known issues.

Known Issues

• nticont.exe and nticonx.exe must be invoked with a relative or absolute path.
• This build does not support translating Icon programs that are on a different drive letter from portableIcon or at a UNC path or on Google Drive.
  • The work-around is to copy the program to a local drive.
  • However, when the translated programs themselves run, they are able to access files on other drive letters.
• I have not found a way to express an IPATH or LPATH that has directories that themselves include spaces, except by using (spaceless) "8.3 filenames".
