I spent several hours today to find a bug with notifications. Our app
works OK under sys 6, but under sys 7 NMInstall didn't work.

APple changed a field from Sicon to Icon. They did it to make it clearer
that they now accept both SICNs (as before) and color icons (new in sys 7)
as flashing small icons. I guess they check the size of the handle to
find if its a SICN or a color icon. Our app handed over a SICN *LIST*.
Sys 6 correctly used the first SICN in the list, but sys 7 ignores it.

Now for MY QUESTION: IM-6 tells you to submit a handle to a color icon
family if you want a color icon. Now, what resource type is that???
(I tried ics4, ics8, icl4, icl8 with no success).

(Rhe above is from memory - details could be wrong)
