The subject mostly says it all: I've tried using IconType (FTP'ed out of the archives from some Fish disk, if I recall) and had no success. IconType is supposed to let you change the type of an icon. I need something like that every now and then (mostly to change 'tool' to 'project' icons when I need/want to move the underlying program somehwere else). When I try icontype myicon.info project it acts like it just completed OK (no diagnostics or anything) but: a) the type of the icon DIDNT really get changed, and b) my CLI won't go away (endcli doesn't). Has anyone had any luck with IconType? Does anyone have some OTHER utility (presumably better-known to work) that will do a similar job?

Thanks I did ftp IconType from the FF listing (I don't recall from where, Bob Page told me), and it works like a champ. I use the same syntax you mention. Just for checking, the version of IconType I have is 5688 bytes long. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Heres the details (byte count) of the one I use... ----arwed 88-03-31 23:42:27 12 5688 IconType Oh yea, my CLI will go away and all is fine. I just set the protection bits (of the icon) to "-----r---" and it still worked, so I don't have any ideas to help.
