Edit Disk.info, ".info" just keeps track of where the icons are and is
not an icon file itself.

[Why don't people use their real names?]

Anyway, there is a better icon editor, I use Deluxe Paint II. On the 
IFF fish disk (#64) there is a program by Dan Silva called zapicon
which will take a Dpaint brush file and zap it into a tool icon. 
There was another program on the net, but I don't know if it is on a
fish disk, that will change the "type" of an icon from TOOL, to PROJECT
to DISK etc. Any one of the icon tools should be appropriate. 

Of course there is the commercial version of GI which does something
similar.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
