As far as I know, the format is not documented in 
Inside Mac (maybe a tech note?). Anyway the format is 
pretty simple, it's just a 32x32 chunky pixmap using
the standard 256 color clut. The same goes for icl4, ics8 
and such.

I have some code available that does display the correct 
icon of the icon family (icl8, icl4, ICN#) according to 
the screen depth available. Will post it as soon as 
I'm close enough to anything faster than 1200bps 
(same goes for the progress bar code).

Arno.
