	I'd argue this too.  But the point being made is a little
different.  The 'file' command only says things like:

file /usr/local/netscape/netscape
/usr/local/netscape/netscape: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1, dynamically linked, stripped

	It doesn't say WHAT the program is.  However, when you run this
program, and iconize it, there's an icon!  The question (as I saw it) was
how to get this information out, and if maybe we should make a standard
way to store icons if it isn't easy.

 If you love something, write it in C; if it compiles, it is yours; 
                     if it doesn't, it never was.
