DumbIcon (11 July 1993, by Thomas R. Lawrence with code borrowed heavily from other people!)
Have you ever wanted to impress your friends by having 5 or 6 rows of INITs show up when you turned on your computer, but you couldn't find that many or you didn't have enough memory, or they didn't get along with each other? Well, this little INIT shows as many icons as it can find in it's resource fork when it starts up. Then it disappears from memory without a trace (I hope). It even randomly pauses between each icon to make the sequence believable. (The drive light won't be flashing, but who'll notice that anyway.)
Instructions for Use:
Using ResEdit or your favorite utility, include a bunch of 'ICN#' icons in the INIT's file. Plop it into your System Folder & restart to see them. If you want color, put a 'cicn' color icon in. It should be a color version of an already existing 'ICN#' icon and it should have the same ID number as that existing 'ICN#' resource (the program gives priority to color icons, but falls back on 'ICN#' if there isn't a color icon or the computer doesn't have color QuickDraw installed.
I didn't write most of the source code; you can look in the source code file "DumbIcon.c" to see who did.
The project file is Think C 6.0 compatible, but if you want to do it with Think C 5.0, here's the required settings for "Set Project Type..."
