This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.

It will compile with a lot of work. That is what I have been doing ever since I got my amiga in october. There are a lot of differences between the Unix C compiler and Lattice C on the amiga, plus the fact that some of Icon is in assembler and the Sun uses different mnemonics than the Macro assembler on the Amiga. So every instruction has to be changed to its equivalent Amiga mnemonic which is the standard motorola mnemonic. I hope to have Icon done soon, in a few weeks at most. ( with some luck) I will keep your message and let you know when it is done. If I forget, just keep reminding me by sending some messages, I get absent minded some times. Gary * Reply: 2059
