Paul's editor (IconEd) is Shareware for $15.  DIcEd (Desktop Icon
Editor) is $15 Shareware from me (DAL Systems).  I just released
DICEd 1.2--the main improvement is that the Edit Attribute box knows
the names of all the filetype/auxtype combinations, as listed in
the January 89 File Type Notes.

DIcEd doesn't let you paste a picture into an icon yet.  In most ways
IconEd and DIcEd are fairly similar.  (DIcEd had Save As Source...
first, and it saves as APW C source as well as APW or Merlin
assembly.)
