I have a Mac SE running System 6.0.3 with an internal 20MG HD. Lately,
I've been moving some software that has specially designed icons onto
my hard disk. At some point, which I really can't tell when with some 
applications, the icons are replaced with the generic Mac application icon. 
I can't seem to recover the special icon on the hard disk. This has been 
happening with numerous applications.

For instance, I moved a copy of Vision onto my hard disk and immediately
lost the Vision icon. I get the correct icons on the original diskette, but 
not on the hard disk. 

Someone once told me that if you change the `bundle bits', the icon will
be correctly displayed. Is there are truth to this? What should I know
before I get into ResEdit or whatever I need and start editing resource
information?

Thanks,
Scott Lane
