"FunIcons": The various screen-hacks and graphic demos available in the public-domain are a great way to show off the Amiga. However, one problem with many of them is that they can't be run from the WorkBench, usually because the authors simply didn't bother to make icons for them. Well, here's my answer... a set of icons for some of the more popular screen-hacks and demos that I happen to like... The programs these icons are used for are well-known enough that you should either already have them (if you don't, where have you been??), or be able to find them on a good network like PeopleLink's AmigaZone or your friendly neighborhood Amiga BBS: The following icons are TOOL type. Just put them into the same directory as the program of the same name (e.g. "Viacom.info" goes with "Viacom"). Viacom.info Suck.info WBLander.info Melt.info Scat!.info Grains.info RobotRoff.info Oing.info AmiBug.info BenchQuake.info Blur.info JumpBench.info Trails.info Tilt.info LPM.info FlowWeb.info Stars.info The following icons are PROJECT type. The programs they correspond to either crash if run directly by icon, or require an argument. These icons can be used to run these programs via the public-domain utility "XIcon2". (I leave it to you to obtain "XIcon2" and read its documentation to figure out how to use it... and note that this is for the PUBLIC-DOMAIN version "Xicon2", NOT the Commodore version with the similar name of "XIcon". I understand that with WB 1.3 CBM will officially release their version under the new name of "IconX" to avoid further confusion). These icons are set up as follows: a. The tool-type is set to ":c/XIcon" which assumes that "XIcon" is located in the "C" subdirectory of the root-directory of the disk on which the icon is located. Change this to your own desired path. b. The icon is associated with an ASCII execute-file that must be located in the same directory as the icon itself. The ASCII files I use are included here, and give an explicit path that must be changed for the particular disk YOU place it on. For example, the files I include here assume a disk named "FUN!!" that has subdirectories (drawers) named "ScreenHacks" and "Demos", since that is how I have my own disk set up. (Read the docs to XIcon2 for the gory details... and yes, it could have been made a lot cleaner by using the "LocDir" function of XIcon2, but I'm lazy...)
