Hi List:
I seem to remember somebody creating a stack or external that is able to
grab Finder/Explorer icons from applications. Does something like this
exist?

Hi Scott,
I posted a demo, a while back. I now have a prototype that does a few
tricks with icns files. Someone else made a start with a stack that
reads ico files and sent the stack to me, but it is not finished yet.
