(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 mySQL can be used via www-mysql.
