Sounds great.  How about a version that only does icons, crashes often,  
has maybe half the functionality of the old Icon.app, and costs me $0.   
Appsoft has GOT to be kidding me if they think this grad student is gonna  
fork over $300 for an app that comes free with every other computer  
imaginable.

Anyone up for a boycot of this app till the price drops below $30  
educational for something that does something similar?

If I sound angry, then let me put it this way.  If it is because of this  
app that the Icon.app and anything that even resembles anything that  
builds icons to be dropped by NeXT, then I *am* very angry.

I guess as one of the previous posters put it, until something better  
comes along, we simply have no choice but to use macintoshes to do our  
artwork.  Either that, or write our own Icon.app for the NeXT, but at this  
point when I think of *designing* icons, images, etc. the very LAST thing  
I think of anymore is a NeXT.  (*pat sadly the 21" color monitor sitting  
in front of me*)

Hey, I'd gladly pay 1/10th the price of Appsoft Image for something that  
does 1/10th what Appsoft Image does.  How about it Appsoft?  Wanna sell a  
crippled version?  Bells and whistles I don't need...
