I realize this patch probably doesn't exist yet, but maybe some Mac
guru can come up with it.

I have a black and white Mac Plus running the newest Finder.  Most of
you have probably noticed that fancy, metahorphic icons (ie. Red
Ryder) don't work anymore.  Understandibly so, since Apple warned
people not to make such icons since color systems wouldn't handle them
correctly.   

Well, it appears that Apple has made good its threat.  However, having
a black and white, I don't care if my icons work under color or not (I
don't mean the ones I make; rather, the ones on applications I already
have).  Therefore, it would be nice if there were a patch to Finder
that would put the old masking procedure back for us poor Black and
White slobs.

Anyone got any ideas??
