Message-ID: <2075@njitgw.njit.edu> Date: 31 Dec 90 05:45:11 GMT Sender: news@njitgw.njit.edu Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology Lines: 14 OK, Here's the deal. I've been racking my brains with this and the limited number of resources I've had available to me. I'm writing a program (no kidding) in which data files are created. I want to know how to copy an icon from my ICN# list to be the desktop icon for my data file. ALSO, I would have to change the owner of the data file. Please, don't kick me if this is something too obvious. I thought there was a resource fork at work here, but my data files from MathCAD and Word have unique icons and no resource forks.
