Mac OS9 icons

[Scott Morrow]

I'm needing to "suck up" and "spit out" Mac OS9 applications. I'm  
unable to maintain the higher resolution icon that I have been pasting  
into the "Get Info" information window before "sucking up" the  
application.  This icon isn't stored with the more primitive ions in  
the resfile: data.  I've been looking for a way to use AppleScript but  
haven't got enough of a lead to make any headway, yet.  Any ideas  
appreciated!

Hi Scott,

You can add an icns resource to the resource for of the application. I  
believe it has to be a particular ID number, but I don't remember  
exactly how it works.

Mark,
Thanks!  Knowing about the icns resource was enough to get me going.  
I've been using ResEdit (which, of course, doesn't show the icns  
resource)  Now my icons are all working great in OS9 even if I take  
them apart and put them back together.  Not that hoping to build a  
bunch for OS9 but that has been bugging me for a long time and it is  
really satisfying to have  a better understanding!
