Xto leave unscathed by the mapping process (single-character extensions
Xsuch as .c and .o are automatically preserved; -e allows the user to
Xspecify additional extensions, such as .pxl, .cpi, and .icn).  The
Xfinal switch, -x, precedes a list of strings which should not be
Xmapped at all.  Use this switch if, say, you have a C file with a
Xstructure.field combination such as "thisisveryverybig.hashptr" in an
Xarchive that contains a file called "thisisveryverybig.h," and you
Xwant to avoid mapping that portion of the struct name which matches
Xthe name of the overlong file (to wit, "mtf inputfile -x
Xthisisveryverybig.hashptr").  To prevent mapping of any string
X(including overlong filenames) beginning, say, with "thisisvery," use
X"mtf inputfile -x thisisvery."  Be careful with this option, or you
Xmight end up defeating the whole point of using mtf in the first
Xplace.
X
XBUGS:  Can't handle non-text files.  If any occur in the archive, mtf
Xwill either abort, or perform a faulty conversion.  See the source
Xfile for specifics.  Mtf is also annoyingly slow.

XWhat is Icon?  Icon is the successor language to SNOBOL.  Like SNOBOL,
XIcon has excellent string-processing facilities.  Unlike SNOBOL,
Xthough, Icon has a modern, procedural structure, and offers control
Xstructures like those offered by Algol-family languages.  Though Icon
Xis not, strictly speaking, a declarative language, it nevertheless
Xincorporates control, and optional data, backtracking, much like what
Xwe find in languages like Prolog.  Awk programmers will feel at home
Xwith Icon's hash tables, a data-type which implements associative
Xarrays.  Programmers used to having storage handled automatically will
Xhappily avail themselves of Icon's automatic garbage collection
Xmechanisms.  Icon is not meant for low-level or hardware-specific
Xtasks.  Instead, Icon is more of a general-purpose language good for
Xrapid prototyping, and for extremely compact solution of string- and
Xsymbol-processing problems.
X
XWhere can you get Icon?  It can be ftp'd from cs.arizona.edu.  Icon is
Ximplemented on most personal computers, workstations, and many minis
Xand mainframes.  Those without ftp access should write to icon-project
Xat arizona.edu for more information.
X
XIcon is free (except for possible mailing/handling charges), supported
Xmainly by contribution and government grant.  There is really no
Xreason not to have a copy around.
