README of ICON_LEC.LZH, ICON_LEC2.LZH,etc

These are guidebooks to The Icon Programming Language written in Japanese.

I think Icon is a very useful language to handle text data, and Icon should
be more popular in Japan.

But there is no textbook written in Japanese. Although I'm not a expert of
Icon, I began to write guidebooks to Icon and post them to Japanese BBSs,
for Icon-beginners and my training of Icon skill.

There are many encoding methods of Japanese characters.    These files are
encoded with "Shift-JIS encoded method" which used almost all personal com-
puters in Japan. 

(Further information of Shift-JIS are described in "Understanding Japanese
information processing" by Ken Lunde, published by O'Reilly & Associates,Inc..)

I hope these documents help Japanese Icon-beginners and those who process
Japanese texts.

These documents are in the public domain.
