Mamakos) Organization: University of Maryland, College Park Lines: 28 Oh no, not again! The annual fix-the-workbench-by-putting-all-the-icons-in- one-file discussion. Oh well. Anyway, if you should happen to type something like, "TYPE SYS:SYSTEM/.INFO OPT H" you will, in fact, see a list of the file names which have icons in that directory. So this part is already done. Besides, you can repair this problem anyway you'd like. If you notice, the *ONLY* documented interface to the Icons that the workbench uses is by using GetDiskObject() and PutDiskObject() in icon.library. I claim that you can change the icons to work anyway you'd like, and have all well behaved programs work just fine, thank you. Personally, I'd like to see all of the icons be in one file per directory (I just had to get an my opinion in here, since this discussion is starting up again). Anyway, I hope that something is changed next time around. There's certainly a lot of room for improvement here. I'm glad that we can talk about enhancing the software rather than fixing a horrible bug (40 folders, anyone?) Louis A.
