Thanks for your reply. Thats what i figured, but was not sure.
Peace

In theory, probably yes.
In practice, most post-Scrypt algorythms seem to require more RAM than FPGAs have available.
It would take modification to the FIRMWARE IN THE FPGA ITSELF, not just modification to cgminer, to do so.

My scrypt miner is not effecient enough to profit anymore so i was wondering if the cards inside, icarus fpga boards, can be instructed to run another algo through modifications to the cgminer software.
Thanks for any suggestions.
