Subject: PIconServices released - free source code and libraries

PIconServices is a library that gives you IconServices or its own
ref-counted equivalent. Now you can call functions such as :
GetPIcon('macs','help',&myIcon);
PlotPIcon(&myRect,kAlignNone,kTransformNone,myIcon);
ReleasePIcon(myIcon);

These calls will now use IconServices if it is available and will
also work on older systems. Libraries are available for CFM,PPC and
classic68K. The following routines are exported:

PISSInit
PISSTerminate
PtInPIcon
RectInPIcon
PIconToRgn
PlotPIcon
UnregisterPIcon

RegisterPIconFromResource
ReleasePIcon
AcquirePIcon
