Kurz:     V1.1 des Shell Befehls zum Iconkopieren

IconCopy is a small and simple shell command to copy a icon image
from a source to a destination. No tooltypes will be overwritten if
there is already an icon at destination. If available it uses the
newicon.library.

I wrote it because I needed something like this for the Installation
Script of SimpleFind. The installer itself cannot do this at this
moment (I think) and so IconCopy was born.

Feel free to use and spread it.


Usage
~~~~~
Since IconCopy is a shell command it can not be started from
Workbench ;-) (but if you do it anywhy IconCopy will do nothing)
and so only a shell template exists:
  SOURCE/A,DEST/A,CHECK/S,UPDATE/S


SOURCE - the source icon (without ".info")

DEST - the destination (without ".info")
       if there is already an icon, only the image is copied
       otherwise the complete icon is copied

CHECK - checks if the file or drawer with the DEST name exists.
        if not, the icon is not copied

UPDATE - if dest icon exists, the tooltypes of the source icon,
         which don't exist on in the dest icon are also copied,
         but marked as deactivated (via the '()' pair)


History
~~~~~~~

Version 1.0 (23.11.98)
 - first public release

Version 1.1 (02.01.99)
 - added UPDATE/S Argument
   (suggested by Nils Görs)
 - forgot to close the newicon.library

Future
~~~~~~
Enough for my needs...but I'm open for suggestions
(however I think there is room for many improvments)


Notes
~~~~~
Since probably no normal person will install this command on
his/her system you must include it, if your installation script
use this command. However it's enough to include the binary only.
