If you want I can break the Windows support, and submit the change as a patch. :) Actually, though I detest Microsoft, I am pleased that Unicon supports Windows. I found out about Unicon when one of my co-workers, having problems of some sort running one of my Icon programs on Windows, wrote an e-mail to Dr. Jeffery about it and found out that newer versions of Windows Icon were Unicon. I didn't really care about that; what attracted me immediately was the Posix support. (WRT Posix: In this security-conscious era, I think we need to add a mkstemp() to the Posix stuff, and perhaps have any deprecated Posix such as mktemp() issue an "I am unsafe and deprecated, use mkstemp" message, in the way gcc does, although we might have to do it at run time.)
