Well, it's a quick hack that requires a shell (Orca/M or GNO; GNO is
preferred because of shell wildcard expansion), but it works.  I've
posted vfyicon to c.b.a2 and my ftp area, ftp.ugcs.caltech.edu.  A
nicer gui version might be out in a while, but I just wanted proof
that my icon files were up to spec before ripping the finder's icon
list [il]logic to shreds.

   Please read the readme for conditions on distribution. Also, just
say no to sector editing!
