THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", etc.  See the archived .doc file.

DefaultIcon works only with Kickstart 2.0 and above. If you run it under
Kickstart 1.3, it will return immediately.

USAGE
-----

Place one or more icons on "DefaultIcon"'s icon.

If the icons are "fake icons", they are converted to real icons. This means
that you can snapshot them, and that they appear also on Workbench 1.3.

If the icons are "real icons" they will be replaced with your defaults.

In both cases the new icons will have the image, default tool and tooltypes
of your default icon for that type of project.  The type of project
is determined by the Project's name and/or file contents.  You can add
to the rules for determining the project type.

The icon's images will be set to the default image of their class (disk,
drawer, tool, or user-defined classes).

Tips:  - You can use this feature to convert the 1.3-look drawer icons to
         the new 2.0 look.

       - If you want to delete a "Trashcan" from Workbench, drag it on
         DefaultIcon. It will then be converted into a drawer, which you
         can delete like any other drawers.

       - You should set the default tool of your xxx_def.info files to the
         appropriate program. For text files you can use "More", for IFF
         pictures you can use "ShowIFF".
