- Thank you all for all your kind suggestions. After about a day and a night
- of struggling, I found the problem.
-
- You can have all your BNDL, SIZE, VERS, FREF, ICN#/icl8, and signature
- resources set up correctly in your resource file, BUT if you don't pull down
- "Set Project Type..." from "Project" in the menu bar in Think C to change the
- creator from "????" to your application signature, your custom icon will never
- work. Seems that Think C will override your [correctly set up] resources...
-
- Sigh. Hope this helps someone.
