- FaceLift, the short short story.
-
- This is an INIT which allows a user to assign special ICN#s to their disks.
-
- Original idea and application by Greg Marriott and Scott T Boyd. The program
- allowed the user to pick any ICN# in the Desktop file and assign it to the boot volume.
- This only worked with special versions of Carl Nelson & Associates disk drivers that
- had a custom csCode to accept a new ICN#.
-
- INIT created by Ron Aldrich. This little piece of code worked at startup and applied
- the same ICN# to each volume that happened to be mounted when it ran. Ron's method
- works with most (probably all) disk/tape drivers, not just CN&A's.
-
- Latest version by Greg Marriott. Introduced the idea of assigning a different
- named ICN# to each volume at startup time. FaceLift now mounts each drive in the
- drive queue and looks for an ICN# whose name matches the volume name. If it finds
- one, the disk gets the new ICN#. If the search fails, the disk retains its default.
-
-
- To use FaceLift:
-
- Use Resedit to place ICN# resources into the FaceLift INIT file. Name the ICN#s the
- same as the volumes you want them assigned to. Place FaceLift in the System Folder
- and re-boot. Presto, custom volume icons!
