Versions in unicon can be problematic, especially for those of us with
several hundred production level programs running on various machines. My
solution is not to call the unicon program directly, but to call a shell
script which, for program stocks0.icn, recompiles the unicon program if
it was compiled by an earlier unicon version:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/ptho/projects/unicon-proj/messaging
./iconx -V ./stocks0
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
unicon stocks0
fi
./stocks0
