I posted the original query about changing icons a while back. And I
got back two solutions. The first one is the one you mentioned above.
The second one is where you go into Resedit, do a 'Get Info' on the
application and set the bundle bit. That seems to work fine for me.
I haven't tried the first solution mentioned above. To all the people
who took the time and trouble to reply my query, thank you very much!!
