Hi! you've probably looked through the upload a little bit, so you already
know what this is all about.  All the same, I thought I'd add a little
something about the background behind this.
 
	In coming up with these icons and other assorted things, I tried,
for the most part, to keep these things in mind:
		1> many people still run a 4-color Workbench.
			(Like me!)
		2> simplicity and elegance are next to
			perfection.  (You can tell I'm a
			mathematician, yes?)
		3> in spite of #2, any icon works only
			when the image makes its purpose
			intuitively obvious.
		4> wherever possible, try to imitate the
			standard Amiga icons.
	You can see that I held to these principles, by and large.  There
were only three standard icons that I replaced: Icon Edit, More, and Memacs.
I did this because I felt Icon Edit was too large, More wasn't intuitively
obvious, and Memacs was irrelevant to its icon.  For my replacements, Icon
Edit is similar, and I unified More and Memacs to be instantly recognizable
with a Text File project icon I've been using.
	For the project-oriented icons, almost all are based on the original
project icon in the Operating System (ver 2); that is, I snipped off the
"Northeast" and "Southwest" corners.  I also tried to make prefs projects
similar to their tool counterparts.  (That "intuitively obvious" part...)
	I won't pretend that my icons are superb works of art which all of
us should sit back and admire.  I've seen a few of those, and wow! are they
something.  They also tend to use at least 8 or 16 colors.  In particular,
I'm thinking of the icons which are used in Magic Menu v1.27.  Absolutely
gorgeous.
	On the other hand, my icons are simple and to the point; they get
the job done without a lot of wondering, "well, what's THAT icon mean?".
 
	I hope you like and use these icons.  If you have any suggestions
or comments, feel free to reach me.
