DESCRIPTION
#C21

 NewIcons is a revolutionary enhancement to the graphical user
 interface (GUI) of the Amiga computer.  On an AGA machine, the
 NewIcons package allows users of AGA systems to view icons on
 their Workbench, independent of the Workbench palette settings.
 Icons up to 256 colors can be utilized on the standard workbench.
 A comprehensive set of NewIcon images is included in the package
 for all the standard Workbench files as well as several other
 images.  The images were drawn by the artist well-known for his
 isometric icon sets, Roger McVey.

 Included in the NewIcons package is DefIcons, which will display
 the appropriate icon for dozens of different file types that don't
 have icons attached to them.  Deficons recognizes IFF, JPEG, and
 GIF files, source codes of various languages, packed file types,
 mountlists, printer and monitor drivers, and much more.

 Both NewIcons and Deficons work on OS2.0+ systems as well (with a
 16 color icon limitation on non-AGA machines).

 Other features include:

        o  Icons can easily be created from IFF brushes using your
           favorite paint program.  The icons will appear on your
           workbench screen in the _exact_ proper colors, no matter
           what your palette is set to (using AGA).

        o  If you click on a "fake" icon, the Workbench "Execute
           Command" field will have the user defined default tool
           already typed in for you.

        o  Fix that CrossDos icon to look like a standard NewIcon
           image.

        o  Unique icons for RAM disks and CD-ROMS that don't have
           icon images.

        o  Comprehensive set of NewIcon manipulation utilities to
           maximize the appearance of your Workbench.

        o  Extensively beta tested.

        o  Full AmigaGuide documentation and automated installer
           script.  Your old icons will NOT be deleted!

        o  A supplemental icon set will soon be released with over
           400 NewIcon images.

        o  NewIcons and DefIcons work independently of each other,
           so you can install which features you want to use.
