	I have discovered an interesting bug in System 7. I have a number
of applications on a hard disk partition (in different folders). These
applications all have aliases in the Apple Menu Folder of the System Folder
on a separate partition which is my boot partition.
	I was forced to rebuild the desktop of the "applications" partition
and all the applications that were aliased into the Apple Menu ended up with
generic application icons. The icons in the Finder's Get Info window are
also generic.
	I have checked the BNDL resources for those applications and the
ICN#s are correct. The aliases in my Apple Menu Folder have the correct
icons and the icons in the apple menu are also correct.

	Strange and disconcerting!
	Peter C
