[comp.sys.next] an app to make the dock small?

I seem to remember awhile back reading about an app that makes
the NeXT logo on top of the dock very small.  I can't find
it on the archives.  Could someone point me to it?  
Thanks.

Someone posted this little script to eliminate most of the WM icon last fall,  
but I'm afraid I forget who.  

echo Beepwindow currentwindowbounds pop 1 Beepwindow placewindow | pft

Or rather, this is my adaption of it (I call it "nixnext").  The '1' refers to  
the new height of the icon.  '1' is the smallest the window can be.  Of course,  
this really gets rid of the window--you can't drag the dock anymore unless you  
get the cursor on the one-pixel-high window that remains.  '64' instead of '1'  
will get the window back, but the icon is lost.

Hope this helps,
