I know this subject has been covered MANY times, but I have yet to see
a REAL response:

Why are the 1 bit icons, icn#, used under system 7.0 when there are 4
and 8 bit icons available (icl4, icl8, ics4, ics8)???  The 7.0 system
file has both 1, 4, and 8 bit icon resources for many standard finder
icons, but some of them are not used.  WHY!!!!!  I have alot of users
who are very attached to their colorized environments under system
6.x.  I realize these are unimportant issues to most mac managers, but
to users it's a BIG DEAL.

Would someone at Apple who KNOWS THE ANSWER(S) please respond to this
question??  I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know.

Also, if there is a clean workaround that can be implemented I would be
happy to post my findings.
