[comp.sys.next] Icons - need help customizing Icons..

vesper@kong.gsfc.nasa.gov (Greg Vesper - RMS) (11/09/90)

From the few source files I've looked at, it seems that icons are
created as tiff files and are then linked in to the beginning of an
executable file as a seperate segment.  (Correct me if I'm wrong as I've
never written an app for this box).  Fine. I like the idea of carrying
the icon around within the executable rather than having a seperate
resource file a la Macintosh.  My problem is that I have exectuables
that I've gotten off the net ( no source ), and I want to give these
babies some interesting icons intead of the generic icon that I'm
getting now.  Is there some utility for stripping an executable and
adding an icon?  Is there a routine sequence I can use with the linker
to accomplish this?  Am I on the wrong track here?

thanx for any input..
