Well, it does work, but you have to make sure you patch ALL occurrences in
HandyIcons and HandyWb. I don't think there was a library to patch, but 
bottom line is you gotta zap all supplied modules. I am using it with 
SETCPU 1.5.

Why getting to newzap HandyIcons when you can do it by reversing the order of
execution? Get Handyicon runing first and then SETCPU. It does the trick for
me. (grin)
