+Description: Interpreter for Icon, a high-level programming language
+ Ideal for both complex nonnumerical applications and for situations where
+ users need quick solutions with a minimum of programming effort, Icon is a
+ high-level, general purpose programming language with a syntax similar to
+ Pascal and C. Its applications include: rapid prototyping, analyzing
+ natural languages, generating computer programs, and artificial
+ intelligence. (From the back cover of the book "The Icon Programming
+ Language," by Griswold and Griswold.)
+ .
+ This package contains the Icon translator, which converts Icon source code
+ into `ucode` that can then be executed with the help of the iconx program.

+Description: Executor for Icon, a high-level programming language
+ Ideal for both complex nonnumerical applications and for situations where
+ users need quick solutions with a minimum of programming effort, Icon is a
+ high-level, general purpose programming language with a syntax similar to
+ Pascal and C. Its applications include: rapid prototyping, analyzing
+ natural languages, generating computer programs, and artificial
+ intelligence. (From the back cover of the book "The Icon Programming
+ Language," by Griswold and Griswold.)
+ .
+ This package contains the Icon executor, iconx, which is needed to execute
+ interpreted Icon programs. If you are starting from Icon source code (as 
+ opposed to precompiled `ucode' files), you will also need the icont
+ package, which converts your Icon source into a program that iconx can
+ execute.

+Description: Compiler for Icon, a high-level programming language
+ Ideal for both complex nonnumerical applications and for situations where
+ users need quick solutions with a minimum of programming effort, Icon is a
+ high-level, general purpose programming language with a syntax similar to
+ Pascal and C. Its applications include: rapid prototyping, analyzing
+ natural languages, generating computer programs, and artificial
+ intelligence. (From the back cover of the book "The Icon Programming
+ Language," by Griswold and Griswold.)
+ .  
+ This package contains the Icon compiler. It generates programs that
+ generally run faster than those of the icont/iconx Icon interpreter. On the
+ other hand, the Icon compiler takes much longer to compile programs and is
+ more memory-hungry than the iconx/icont pair. As such, the compiler is
+ probably only useful to speed up the execution of large Icon programs once
+ they are fully developed and debugged.

+Description: Libraries for Icon, a high-level programming language
+ Ideal for both complex nonnumerical applications and for situations where
+ users need quick solutions with a minimum of programming effort, Icon is a
+ high-level, general purpose programming language with a syntax similar to
+ Pascal and C. Its applications include: rapid prototyping, analyzing
+ natural languages, generating computer programs, and artificial
+ intelligence. (From the back cover of the book "The Icon Programming
+ Language," by Griswold and Griswold.)
+ .
+ This package contains the Icon program library, a library of Icon
+ procedures and programs contributed by Icon users.
