This is dumb question:
How do I get an application to use the icon that I want it to? In
the few applications I've built, I set the icon name (including .tiff)
in the proper place in the project, and yes, it is also set in the
Makefile APPICON (or whatever), but no matter what I do, I always
get the standard application icon. Even applications I get off the
net, and even the ones in /NextDeveloper always come up with the
standard one rather than the one specified.
Any ideas?

From your message it sounds like you are missing the last step --- The application needs to be in a directory in Workspace Manager's path. Drop the executable in ~/Apps, do "Find Tools" from the Workspace "Utilities" menu, and see if it works. This question came up about 2 weeks ago; I went into more detail back then as to why the icons are so picky about showing up.

Search for an article >entitled "Questions on IB use" (or something along those lines)... This brings to mind: Is anyone (at NeXT? Elsewhere?) archiving comp.sys.next, or at least the technical questions and answers? Every 200MB or so, you could put out a volume on a disk, all indexed using the same software that the Webster's uses. I don't have a NeXT, but if I got one I'd sure be glad to read through the past 8 months of learning experiences all you folks have had. lee

We have complete archieves going back to Apr 30, 1989, when I first got notes+NNTP installed. Amazingly, 3.5 months of comp.sys.next only occupy about 1 Meg. -------------------- Brad Carlson <carlson@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu> or <brad-carlson@uiuc.edu> University of Illinos--Micro Resource Center--NeXT guru

Every 200MB or so, you Comp.sys.next archives are available from the NeXT archive on cc.purdue.edu (128.210.9.2) in pub/next/news. There are currently 3 large compressed files there. I'll try to add the newest stuff about once a month. Gerrit Huizenga NeXT Workstation Support Purdue University Computing Center gerrit@cc.purdue.edu
