[comp.sys.mac] First Wish For HC

HyperCard is VERY neat. Needs one tiny thing though. It needs a built
in icon editor.
  How 'bout it? Anyone got a icon editor lying around they'd like to add to
HyperCard?

Somewhere there is a DA that will let you select an icon sized portion of the
screen and turn it into a real icon.  All you need is this and fat bits in
HyperCard.

McSink DA, available from Sumex (I got it from comp.binaries.mac) allows 
something like this.  You move an icon-sized rect around on the screen and
click when you get to what you want "ICONized."  Well, actually it turns
what is in the rectangle into hex codes.  I guess then you could stuffhex
or something after that.

Regardless, all editing in McSink is done in the clipboard, so anything
"hex"ed can be pasted just about anywhere.
