Icon bug in jpeGS 1.2

[brian.hammack@rook.wa.com (Brian Hammack)]

        I have finally discovered why the hell the icons I've assigned
to JPGs under IconEd 2.0 haven't done diddly...

        The author failed to append the resource icons to jpeGS 1.2,
but some kind of call is made to assign them in the Desktop hidden file
anyhow -- which is why JPGs are blank doc icons, not whatever you want.
The quick fix is to create a r-Icon file with a program like ICE, put
your icons of choice in (JPG icon large is #1, JPG icon small is #2),
and append it to jpeGS.  So now you've fixed a hole -- JPGs are now
showing as binary files -- though not actually assigned an icon it turns
out.  So now you run IconEd and assign the icons (filetype = $06, name
is "*.jpg") and you're in biz!  A bit messy but IMHO worth the effort.

        Now, if someone could tell me why my GIF icons come up okay if
I have the filetype for them set to $00 but *not* if I have it set to
$06 (which is what the GIFs are, binary files)...
