To get the Facade init to work, first place it in your System Folder (you'd
be surprised how UNobvious that is to some people!).  Using ResEdit, open
the Facade file and create a new icon along with the others already present
in the file, or choose one of the ones the author conveniently provided
for us (I use Hobbes, the tiger).  Select the icon, then choose Get Info
from the File menu.  In the Name field of the info window for this icon,
type the name of the diskette, hard disk, AppleShare volume, or whatever,
that you want to bear the icon you've selected.  Make sure you get the name
exactly right.  Close the Facade file and quit from ResEdit.  Reboot your
computer.  Assuming Facade has no trouble loading, you should now have your
disk on-screen with its new icon!  You can have a different icon for each
disk, as long as you give the icon resource the name of that disk.

What *I* want to know is, why won't Facade work on the 512K Macintosh
that's on the same network as my Mac II?  Could it be that Tops is loading
before Facade?  If that's the problem, is there a way to change the order
there?  I have no idea why Tops gets loaded first, unless rdevs always
come first.  What I'm hoping to do is get Facade running on this 512K Mac
so that when the hard drive on the II comes up on the 512 under Tops, it
has the same icon I've given it, rather than the Tops published-volume
icon.
