A colleague of mine and I are working on a project to modify Kermit for
the Mac to suit the needs of the institution we are serving.  We would
like to change the icon from the frog to a custom icon based on this
institution's logo.  I have an old icon editing program which will not
work with up-to-date versions of the System file.  Anyway, the
documentation for this share/freeware is missing or was never there to
begin with.

We would really appreciate suggestions for icon editors that will allow
us to substitute our own design for the default icon.  Supposedly,
changing an application icon (on the DeskTop) is not a straightforward
affair.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
