Unicon is a superset of Icon with “looser slots and a higher payback”, to use Las Vegas terminology. It adds objects, networking and file systems access, execution monitoring and visualization, and an ODBC database interface that operates on local files or across a network with SQL database servers. It is portable to (minimally) Linux, MS Windows, IRIX and Solaris environments. Part or all of Unicon will port readily to other Icon 9.4 platforms.
