PICT's are resources containing normal Quickdraw Pictures.  If your resource
ID is #129,  and myRect contains the rectangle in which you wish to draw it,
(local coordinates of current grafport), then

  var myPic:PicHandle;
  begin
   myPic:=GetPicture(129);
   DrawPicture(myPic, myRect)
  end;

will draw it. SICNs are 'small icons.' Their format is a 16x16 bit array,
you have to provide the BitMap structure to plot it with CopyBits.
