- ForceIcon is an utility mainly for users of CDRom drives
- or users of networking software capable of sharing devices
- and icons. Since one can not snapshot the position of a
- volume`s icon (on read only media), nor replace it by a
- user-defined one, I wrote this utility. ForceIcon allows
- you to set the position of a disk`s icon and/or replace
- it by a different image/icon which doesn`t have to be a
- disk.info file. All types of ".info" files may be selected.
- Special features include inheritance of device specific
- settings, specifying the root drawer`s size/position
- and display flags/modes. Furthermore you may alter the
- look and position of AppIcons. Giftware, includes Source
-
- Requires MUI (MagicUserInterface) version 7 (MUI 2.0)

- Changes since v1.7 :
-
- - Added NewIcons icons for both programs.
- (Submitted and converted by : Joachim Worringen. Thanks)
-
- - Improved way of determining whether an old (Non-AppIcon-
- Supporting) version of FIcon is running, as it seems the
- other method didn`t work on WB 2.x systems.
- (Reported by : Michael Barsoom)
-
- - Sigh, one small, simple bug made ForceIcon unusable in
- conjunction with ToolManager. (Should write D0,-(sp) instead
- of D2,-(sp) next time)
- (Reported by : Well, too many. This way you get an
- impression, how many people are using ForceIcon ;))
-
- Changes since v1.6 :
-
- - Changed layout of Prefs program to standard Prefs type
- window. Except for "Create icons?" everything should
- be fine, now.
- (Suggested + Requested by : Georges Goncalves)

- (Requested by : Georges Goncalves & Peter Källegren)
-
- - FIcon-Prefs requested any muimaster.library, even though
- V7 was minimum!

- Changes since v1.5 :
-
- - Using ForceIcon you may even "SnapShot" Disk icons now.
- Use SnapShot and then select SAVE from the Prefs program
-
- - No more quit requesters will be shown
- (Requested by : Bernhard Moellemann)
-
- - You may now even enter relative coordinates (relative to
- Workbench Screen`s width/height) for the icon`s position.
- This is accomplished through negative values for
- IconX/IconY
- (Requested by : Bernhard Moellemann)
-
- - IconPosition window is smaller now
