KillOldIcon may be freely distributed as long as no charge is made other
than to cover time and copying costs. If it is to be distributed via
floppy disk, this cost should be no higher than $3.00 (three) dollars US.
If distribution is via CDRom, the total cost should be no more than Fred
Fish charged from one of his CDRom collections.
You may not copy and/or distribute this program without the accompanying
documentation unless you get permission from the author to do so.
Fred Fish and AmiNet have my permission to include this program on their
CDRom collections. Nicola Salmoria has my permission to include this
program with his NewIcon collection.
Finally if you wish to include KillOldIcon on a disk magazine you are
REQUIRED to get the author's permission FIRST. Usually this will require
you to just send me a copy of the issue which contains KillOldIcon free of
charge.
I reserve the right to publically poke fun at anyone who fails to abide by
these distribution rules, along with more severe action if appropriate.

Introduction
============
KillOldIcon will replace the standard Workbench image of NewIcons, with the
pixel image provided in the NewIcon package. The advantage of this is that

on your drives.

KillOldIcon will examine the icons passed to it. If it contains a NewIcon
image, the oldicon image will be replaced, however if the icon does not
contain a NewIcon image it will be left alone.
