Double Helix was a really nice tool. I used it a good bit as well. I
think one of the reasons it worked better than lots of other graphical
languages was its focus on database solutions.

Hi
I used to develop relational datab ase applications apps for company
internal use with something called Double Helix in the 80's. It was
completely iconic stuff, you only wrote the names of the things,
everything
else was an icon. Stuff worked, could be quite complex. Maintenance
was a
bit of a headache. The tool seems still to be around and they are
slowly
being ported to Mac OS X, couple of years ago I tried the apps in a
then
current generation of Macs and the apps appeared quite speedy (in the
80's
you could not call them really speedy).

There is a very real sense in which words can be viewed as icons, but

I did a prototype of a commercial app (kiosk) on an Amiga with an
iconic language developed by Commodore. For the life of me, I can not
remember its name. Maybe someone out there used Amigas as well. It
is
very cool, but it too had its limitations.
