- Description :
-
- An improved prefs file for the deficons program distributed with the
- NewIcons package.
- This deficons program is the best one around certainly better than the
- other whatis.library counterparts which are buggy and slow.
- DefIcons is not included on this archive but on the NewIcons archive :
- aminet: util/wb/NewIconsV2.lha
- aminet: util/wb/NewIconsV2Lite.lha
- If you dont know what the hell im talikng about ,or what are NewIcons,
- or why do they look like little squares on your purple MagicWb
- I suggest you take a look the above mentioned archives.
- The brainfile may be used on any machine but the default icons are
- for NewIcons users only.
- This prefs file was compiled with SAS/C 6.56 Asm.
- The Icons were made with Iconian.
-
- Installation :
-
- Copy all the files in the env subdirectory into your Envarc: directory :
- the env/deficons.prefs file belongs in env:
- teh env/sys/#?.info files belong in env/sys
- make sure deficons is run in your startup sequence.
- Reboot!
- NOTE : This will override icons that are already in env/sys.

- And some i forgot i added ...
-
- All icons that have father objects (almost all do),may be substituted by
- those father objects icons.Thus you may conserve in memory usage.
- Almost all objects are lowlevel identified.This is a must,no filetype ID program
- can identify ascii files without this therefor I used lowlevel for maximum safety.
-
- XPK is supported to a high degree.XPK stores some id headers and these are
- identified by deficons.Supported crunched files are IFF(not all),Wave,Sunaudio,
- Executables.It Seemed pointless to add more since thses are the ones that are
- most often crunched on most systems.

- Acknowledgements:
-
- Roger McVey,Phil Vedovatti which made numerous NewIcons off which my Icons
- were based.Some of the icons on this archive are blant copies but I really
- cant remember which.
- Nicola Salmora for the deficonsprefs source.

-
- Caveats :
-
- There seems to be a bug with the rad disk.Its definetly not with this brainfile but here
- is how it works : If the def_RADDisk.info icon does not match the RAD disk's setup
- workbench will hang.By twiddling with this iv managed to create a working rad disk deficon
- however im not sure it will work on rads that are not the same setup as a floopy drive.
- My icon is also snapshoted in the middle of the screen so it doesnt clutter up the
- drawers/partitions on the left.
-
- Enjoy and report bugs and suggestions!
