- Introduction
- ============
-
- KillOldIcon will replace the standard Workbench image of NewIcons, with the
- pixel image provided in the NewIcon package. The advantage of this is that
- if will allways have NewIcons installed, the icons will take up less space
- on your drives.
-
- KillOldIcon does not require that you disable the NewIcon patch first.
- KillOldIcon will examine the icons passed to it. If it contains a NewIcon
- image, the oldicon image will be replaced, however if the icon does not
- contain a NewIcon image it will be left alone.
