                Getting Started with Atari Icon


   The distribution diskette contains executable files for Icon,
a few sample Icon programs with data to get started, and Icon
documentation in printable form. It also contains the ASH
public-domain shell for running Icon and a copy of the public-
domain archiving program, ARC.

   Before you do anything else, make a copy of the Atari Icon
diskette.  If you have a hard disk, you may wish to copy the
files on the Atari Icon diskette to a folder on your hard disk.
If you run Atari Icon from a diskette, it cannot be write-
protected, since Icon creates files when it is run.

   To get started, open the folder that contains the Atari Icon
files and double click on ASH.PRG. You are now be running in a
shell that accepts typed commands.  You may now dearchive the
various files that comprise the Icon distribution. For example,
to extract the Icon executable binary files, icont.prg and iconx.prg, do

	arc x icon.arc

and to get the sample programs do

	arc x samples.arc

Now try out Icon by typing

        icont hello
        iconx hello

You should see something like this from iconx:

	Hello!
	Icon Version 8.0, March 25, 1990
	Atari TOS (LMM/FR)  Lattice 68000 C Version 3.04.02

   Assuming that Atari Icon is working, you should now read the
documentation that comes with the diskette, if you have not
already done so.

documentation, contact:
