Well, I'll assume that the executable *can* be run from the workbench :-) Anyway, using commodore's icon editor on the 1.3 extras disk, you load in the icon from another executable, edit it, and save it out to the disk as .info This should work. If you want to make a project icon, you have to load in a project icon from another file, and use that; etc.) >And what's the difference between Tool, Project, Disk, etc. Icons?
