[comp.sys.mac] Color Finder/Res Edit

Greetings,

  I'm having a great time customizing my desktop with Color Finder, but I'm
planning to renumber all of the icons in Color Finder so that there's some
method to their organization (to make future expansion easier).  My question
is, Are there any numbers I shouldn't use for icons?  Numbers larger/smaller
than which I shouldn't go?  I notice that certain numbers make the icons think
that they have a certain Owner type.  Does this matter?  How about all the
little check boxes?  Should the icons preload?  Be purgable?  Etc?

  Second question:  most of the icon files I've downloaded have been in a
ResEdit document format (double-click and go straight there).  How is such a
file made?

Thanks in advance,
--Mike
