John, What I was trying to do was NOT TO MODIFY the icon. And MAKELINK
for me is the answer. Have you read the docs on makelink? Do you read
answer sent by Don Curtis? Well where is his answer anyway.
" Allan,
All files are essentially linked files. That is, each file has a
header that points to where the actual file data is. MakeLink adds a 2nd
header that also points to the same file, but it also increases the
linkcount of the file.
When you remove one of the linked file, all that's really done is
removal of the one header and a decrement of the link count. The other
header is still there, still pointing to the same data. "
