FEATURES

This ICON I/O library allows you to load and save images created with
PPaint as Workbench icons. There exist options to load/save the selected
image of an icon and to determine the type of a freshly created icon.
Version 5.5 should now be compatible with PPaint 6.4 and pre V39 OS.

NOTES
 Please turn off automatic icon generation to get this working.
 To install simply drop the personal_icon_io.library in PPaint:libs or libs: .

 Colors are not set - get WB screen palette first.
 Icon saver supports TOOL,PROJECT,DRAWER,TRASH and DISK
  -- this type is only set if the icon didn't previously exist.
 Saving the first image will remove the second image and there is
 no consistency check between the first and the selected image.

 If you have the NewIcons patch installed loading NewIcons is possible,
 but saving creates a 'normal' icon.

 To load the Disk-icon ask the filerequester to load ":Disk"
 The use of the .info suffix is optional, but sometimes required to get around
 limitations in the PPaint filerequester ( i.e. writing a directory icon)

 Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual: Libraries 3rd Ed. says in the Icon chapter:
  The image depth MUST be 2;... (just to warn you)
