Version 9.4.2 of Icon

This release of Icon has been superseded.

Version 9.4.2 of Icon is available in source and binary form. This version runs on Unix systems, including the Cygwin environment under Windows and the Darwin environment on the Macintosh. The documentation is on line.

Version 9.4.2 removes the 256-color limit for graphics programs, corrects several minor problems, and updates the library. For more details, see the release notes.

For Windows use without Cygwin, Icon 9.3.2 remains available, and the 9.4.2 library is available separately.

Executable Unix Binaries

Precompiled binaries are available for the Unix systems listed below. These binaries are built with graphics enabled, so the X Window system must be present on the target platform (except for Cygwin). Each package includes the translator, interpreter, interface builder, and library procedures. To install Icon from binaries,

1. Download the correct tar file for your system.
2. Unpack it to produce an icon.v942 directory.
3. Follow the installation instructions.

Binary packages are 1.5 MB gzipped tar files. Unpack by gunzip <file.tgz | tar xf –.
