  According to the System 7 Preliminary Developer Notes distributed at the
1989 World Developer Conference, WHICH WAS NOT DISTRIBUTED UNDER
NONDISCLOSURE, (there, that's for Apple) icl4, icl8, ics4, ics8, and SICN
resources may be included in the BNDL resource under Finder 7.0.  In other
words, they will work identically to ICN# icons.  The only caveat is that
they MUST have the same ID as a corresponding (and present) ICN# icon.
