	Facade is an awesome little INIT which changes the icon of any
_volume_ you mount.  Doesn't do folders or trash can.  Use it like this:

	Open FacadeIcons (you should have gotten this file as well. If not,
make it yourself :) and paste in a cool icon.  Name it (using ResEdit's
get info command) the name of your hard drive.  When you quit ResEdit,
voila! a new icon for your hard drive.  This also works with floppys. I have
about 20 transfer disks I use with names like "Spock" "Moof" "Globe" etc.
and they have those icons.

	For the ResEdit-talented, try making a cicn in "Color Finder" or
"Icon Colorizer", or an icl8 in "Sun Desk" or with System 7.0b with the
same id as the id of the icon in Facade, which has the same name of your
volume.  The upshot of this is that you can have your HD icon be any cicn
you can get your hands on!

	P.S.  Change the name of your HD, drag it a few inches, put it back,
and you've got a new icon (or cicn).  Gotta love it.
