I, like most Macintosh "power-users", have a lot of INITs and cdevs in
my System folder. Most of these insist on displaying their cute little
icons when starting up, thus cluttering up my nice startup-picture.
Well, with many cdevs it is possible to turn off the startup-icon, but
with the INITs it is not so easy.

Fortunately, most of these icon-displaying critters use a common means 
of putting their icons on the screen, namely Paul Mercer's ShowINIT INIT.

So, instead of resorting to ResEdit or other equally violent methods,
I wrote the NoICON INIT to get rid of these intruding icons. The code
is really extremely trivially simple (only 14 bytes), so I've enclosed it
too. Maybe there are someone more than myself who might find it useful.
