Yep!
[stuff about tar file fixed in ICON]

Actually, a version was available from the STORE! and now resides on
OSU. It is rather old, but none the less. Here is a description from
on of the STORE! listings.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp 10 139709 Mar 22 23:33 ICON+IN.Z
The Icon programming language was developed at the University of
Arizona under an NSF grant. It is a high-level language with
extensive facilities for processing strings and lists which
incorporates many novel features. It has been compared to SNOBOL.
Version 5.10 by R.E.Griswold and W.H.Mitchell (8/85). Ported by: Rick
Fonorow.
I remember someone (maybe Rick Fonorow) posting a while back about a
newer version. This is most likely the same one that Thad has found
on cs.arizona.edu.

Please arrange to get the latest copied to OSU!
