David, Thanks for making the changes in the loop/break program. In my opinion, if this were a production program, the program does not run correctly under Icon. Admittedly, more comments and samples of output would have made the problem clearer.
We probably need some consensus about whether we need to $ifdef some programs so that they perform identically under the two languages. Some years ago when in Australia, I had a physicist friend who was about ready to present a major paper. Just before the conference, he reran his program and realized that the random function in his language needed a random seed. When he fixed the problem (as one must under Icon), his splendid results disappeared for most seed values. I hope we can soon get some clarity on how to do the Icon/Unicon code examples. This morning I tried to figure out how many of the Unicon ones had been given over to the Icon section and gave up after about 3 attempts: just too much "see other_language" work. A bit peevishly, I admit, I was thinking I'd like to put some things under Icon that read: "Can't be done; try Unicon."
