Yes.  Paul Mercer's ShowINIT code only requires the ID of the icon as a
parameter.  The code I wrote gets that number from its own resource ID.  You
can take the resource and paste it into any INIT file.  Then decide which
ICN# resource you want to display and change the id of my resource to the
same number.

You do have to be careful not to have 2 INIT resource with the same number.
In the case of Pyro & Suitcase, you might try changing their original
INIT/128 resource to have id 127, and making my INIT resource have ID 128.
(Assuming that the icon you want to display has id 128.)

I also should point out (again) that the ShowINIT code is from Paul Mercer
and is in the public domain.  According to the documentation for one of
Paul's other works, he can be reached as:

Delphi:	LOGICHACK
MCI:	SOL

and at:

681 E. Seneca Tpk. #A4
Syracuse, NY 13205
315-492-3348

Be advised, however, that Paul is moving out to California (about this time,
I believe) so he may not be reachable for a couple of weeks.
