Ooops, I wrote too soon.

If you rename icon.dll to icon.exe, the procedure seems to work. So, try this:

    o Rename icon.dll to icon.exe
    o Add a new item to a program group in the program manager (if you want)
    o Highlight this new item, or an existing item, and select Properties...
      from the Program Managers File menu.
    o Press the Change Icon button.
    o You should be presented with a dialog box with a place to input a file
      name. Type in the path\icon.exe
    o Press the View Next button to see the icons 1 by 1.

This works to some extent. The item is assigned the icon while it is in the
program manager's window. If you double click, and then minimize the program,
the new icon does not show.
