Is there some sort of new virus out there that attacks .info files? Seems that the .info files for various programs are not responding on my system. Some of them, in particular the animated ones, are really acting strange. For example, th Trashcan icon – when I click on it, the right portion of it changes from orange to white. Very odd … any clues? Cheers, Paul (WA1OMM)

Are you running an 8-color Workbench? I've noticed many icons that look fine in 4-color have 3rd-plane color streaks in them under a 3-plane workbench. I believe this to be caused by them being marked as 3-plane icons even though only 2 planes are defined (the 3rd one is garbage). When I see this happen, I go into IconMaster (or some other 2-image multi-plane icon editor) and fix the colors.
