Has anyone succeeded in porting the Integrated Chameleon Architecture to
the NeXT? If so, I would be very interested in knowing about it. Here is
an extract of the announcement:

------------------
				 ICA
			     Release 1.3
			     7 April 1992
	   $Id: ANNOUNCE,v 1.3 92/04/07 11:59:42 ware Exp $

We  are pleased  to  announce that a   beta  release of the Integrated
Chameleon   Architecture (ICA) is available  for  public distribution.
The ICA is a toolset for  generating data translators.  In particular,
the  toolset can  be  used  to generate translators   to  and  from  a
constrained subset of instances  of  SGML  Document   Type Definitions
(DTD).

There are several  example translators  included.  The first is a book
DTD and includes specific translators for the LaTeX book documentstyle
and a specific troff macro package.  The second is a bibliographic DTD
and includes specific  translators for BibTeX  and refer bibliographic
database  formats.   Please   note   that the  ICA is  for  developing
translators and not providing translators.

The ICA runs in the Unix environment,  using  the  X Window System for
the basis of the graphical  user interfaces.  Unfortunately, there are
many  variations  on the above   so the following list  fills   in the
details.  The primary development platform is  a Sun4 with SunOS 4.1.1
using   X11R4 from   MIT.  The   primary  window manager  used  during
development is tvtwm.

	Hardware OS		 X11 Release	 Window Manager
	-------------------------------------------------------
	Sun4	 SunOS 4.1.1	 R4,R5		 twm
						 tvtwm
						 mwm
						 olwm
	HP 300	 HPUX 8.0	 R4		 --
	HP 700	 HPUX 8.0	 R4		 --

Other configurations    are supported  on   a best--effort  basis.  We
believe this should work on many platforms however we  do not have the
facilities for testing such platforms.

The   distribution     is   located    on   archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
(128.146.8.52)  in pub/chameleon/ICA-1.2.tar.Z  as   a  compressed tar
file.         The        postscript      documentation     is       in
pub/chameleon/ICAdoc-1.2.tar.Z.  The postscript  is split into several
smaller files.  The manual is 186 printed pages.

A  mailing list,  ica@cis.ohio-state.edu, exists  for  those who would
like to  solicit and exchange ICA  information.  A  list for reporting
bugs has also been established.  Details are given below.
