I recently received by direct mailing an annoucement of a supported
ICON for the Mac.  I purchased it, and with the package came an announcement
of a SNOBOL4 for the Mac as well.

Both the ICON (called ProIcon) and the SNOBOL4 (called MaxSPITBOL)
come with a development environment (editor and windows), and an
exportable runtime system.  The entire Icon package fits on a single 800Kb
diskette.  Both have support for file and text dialogs and window
manipulation (but no direct access to the Mac toolbox).

I have been quite pleased with ProIcon, and have ordered MaxSPITBOL as well.
I previously had been running the Arizona Mac Icon, which must be run
under MPW and doesn't handle files very nicely.

Both ProIcon and MaxSPITBOL can be ordered from 
	Catspaw, Inc.
	PO Box 1123
	Salida, Colorado 81201
	(719) 539-3884

ProIcon costs $175.00 plus shipping w/o the Griswold book;
implementation documentation is quite comprehensive.

MaxSPITBOL costs $195.00.  plus shipping.

Its great to see my favorite languages supported on the Mac!
