When I found Icon 2.1 to be unusable under 3.0, I dug into it to find out why.   
The crashes I experienced were due to a dynamically loaded *.nib segment trying  
to instantiate an NXColorSlider view when the NXColorSlider object was  
undefined in 3.0 (not even for backward compatibility).  Several attempts by me  
to splice the missing *.o file back into Icon or the shared system library were  
unsuccessful.  (Still may be possible.)

Since I can't seem to get IconBuilder to so something as simple as Cut & Paste  
in a reasonable way, I was stuck.  Until I got the entirely evil idea of  
resurrecting Icon 1.0.  It runs fine on B&W bitmaps, but not color.  (Without  
NXColorSlider, Icon 2.1 wasn't going to do much with color anyway.)  I also  
hacked the main menu with SegHoarker and InterfaceBuilder to bring it more in  
line with the 2.1 version.  Better than IconBuilder for B&W, for the moment.

Anything to save a buck,

- Christopher
