I have troubles with cicn resources. Compiler is THINK C 4.0.2.
I created cicn with ResEdit 2.0b2, both color and b&w version of cicn.
Following code works ok for ICONs

    aIconHandle = GetIcon (iconID);
    PlotIcon (&aRect, aIconHandle);

    aIconHandle = GetNamedResource ('ICON', iconNamePstr);
    PlotIcon (&aRect, aIconHandle);

following code works for cicns, color or b&w.

    aCIconHandle = GetCIcon (iconID);
    PlotCIcon (&aRect, aCIconHandle);

but why doesn't this work (plots only garbage) when run in Mac with
color, when run in Mac with b&w screen, the b&w version of the cicn
plots ok.

    aCIconHandle = (CIconHandle) GetNamedResource ('cicn', iconNamePstr);
    PlotCIcon (&aRect, aCIconHandle);
