I suppose the subject heading says it all; I've built an application
using LightSpeed Pascal and I want to change the application icon into
something other than the default icon (ie. the one with the hand
resting on a square). I did the following which is from S.
Chernikoff's "Macintosh Revealed Vol. II" :

1) Create autograph resource (I called it CLIN, ID 0) containing string
identifying program version and date.
2) Create a file reference (resource type FREF, ID 128) with
associating type APPL and icon number 0.
3) Create an icon (resource type ICN#, ID 128) that I want my application 
to be represented as. 
3) Create a bundle (resource type BNDL, ID 0) giving owner name and ID
of autograph resource (in this case, CLIN and ID 0) and associating
icon list 0 with actual ID 128.

Problem: icon remains unchanged. Any advice, suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

BTW, Chernikoff referenced Vol. III several times in his book. I was
wondering if anyone knows whether Vol. III is out already or is there
really a Vol. III?? Also can anybody recommend any other good Toolbox
programming books besides Inside Macintosh. I prefer something with 
plenty of examples in it.
