Commenting on Icon's graphics functions rahardj@ccu.umanitoba.ca

Actually, X-Icon is not very X specific at all--the proof is that it
was ported virtually in its entirety to OS/2. As we address some
remaining portability obstacles (such as font names) and implement
Icon's graphics facilities on additional platforms (such as Windows
and NT), we are in fact taking the X- off the front of X-Icon, and
simply referring to the graphics functions as a part of Icon -- as it
becomes available on most platforms, it is becoming part of the mainstream.
Now, who wants to help me do the Mac version...
