[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Ok, what's the 'cicn'/finder secret?

By now, everyone with the new Apple Color Disk has seen the color icon ('cicn')
on the 32-bit Quickdraw INIT.  I thought it might be neat to put a color icon
on some of my programs so I poked through 32-bit QD with ResEdit and cannot
figure out how they did it.  The 'BNDL' references a standard 'ICN#' and
'FREF' resource.  Nowhere does the resource id of the 'cicn' appear.
Interestingly, when you open the 'ICN#' resource, you see the 'cicn'.

Am I missing something, or is there some trickery here???

Thanks
