To date, 71 programs have been released as ICOT Free Software. Now, we are releasing a further six programs:

1. The Portable KL1 Processing System

KLIC translates KL1 programs into equivalent C programs, which are compiled and linked with the KLIC runtime library to obtain executables. This version only runs sequentially, but parallel versions will be available soon.

2. The Process Oriented Programming Language AYA

AYA is built on top of KL1. Using AYA, it is easier to write and read parallel logic programs than with KL1. Message communications between processes can be expressed directly in AYA programs. Processes can have several states, and input and output process modes are also introduced. Variables and streams for communication between processes can be terminated automatically.

3. KL1 Load Distribution Library

4. Multiple Sequence Alignment by a Parallel Iterative Aligner

5. An Intelligent Refiner for Multiple Sequence Alignment

6. A Protein Structure Visualization System

Some ICOT Free Software can be executed under Common ESP (CESP). CESP is not part of the ICOT Free Software, and is available from:
