/**** FreeIcon - A Workbench Utility ***************************/

/****************************************************************/
FREEICON is a simple little utility that corrects one of Workbench's nasty
habits: when Icons are created, they usually have a "free" position --
they've positioned on the screen by Workbench, and thus are drawn quickly
and guaranteed not to land on top of one another. This is handy and useful.
Unfortunately, if you EVER use Workbench to copy an icon across directories
or disks, or if you EVER use the Workbench "Snapshot" function, or if you
make a new icon with ICONED from one of these icons, then your icon is
"pinned-down" to a fixed position and there's no way to free it. Until
FREEICON, of course.
To use FREEICON from the Workbench to free-up directory, disk, or project
icons, just SHIFT-select (select while holding down the shift key) all the
icons you want to free, then double-click on the FREEICON icon. FREEICON
will free them all, one after another.
To free-up tool (program) icons, SHIFT-select FREEICON FIRST, then the
tool(s) you want to free, double-clicking on the last tool. FREEICON will
start up and free all the following icons. This is a strange variation on the
above, but that's just the way Workbench is.
