Scott, someone in my club (AmigaFriends) asked me to ask you if there were any plans to get Amiga interface calls put into ICON. They have version 6.3 (? does that make sense or am I mis-remembering all of the question).

Yes, it makes sense. Other people have asked that, but not exactly sure how to do it. The current plan is to put a few new data types (menu, screen, stuff like that) into icon to provide some basic intuition functions, a few graphics functions, etc., for the next release. Ask them what they want most, I'll see if we can get it in. Pretty hard to do a general CallLib() function from icon, because of the way it munges the data all the time.
