>... a DiskObject structure which contains all the information (including in >particular the image of the icon) for the above-mentioned default system >icon. Also, I notice that directories (drawers) often get .info files >lying around in them. What are these? Here's where my knowledge of workbench (or lack therof) becomes evident. I do not know of any way to construct an icon info file. However, all icon.info files are stored in exactly the same format. The only difference between a drawer icon and a disk icon is the ID field which specifies type of object that the icon represents. So to create a new Disk.info file just copy one from another source and change the ID field if necessary. I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, and I have never worked with icons within a program (using GetDiskObject etc..). I only know what I have read from the manuals that came with my Amiga, you might check there. I really don't know what the purpose of the '.info' by themselves is. I think they contain information as to where sub-windows are to be located with respect to the workbench screen so if you open a drawer within a drawer, workbench will know how big and where to put the window with that drawer's icons.
