Subject: PIconServices released – free source code and libraries

PIconServices is a library that gives you IconServices or its own
ref-counted equivalent. Now you can call functions such as :
GetPIcon(‘macs’,’help’,&myIcon);
PlotPIcon(&myRect,kAlignNone,kTransformNone,myIcon);
ReleasePIcon(myIcon);

These calls will now use IconServices if it is available and will
also work on older systems. Libraries are available for CFM,PPC and
classic68K. The following routines are exported:

PISSInit
PISSTerminate
PtInPIcon
RectInPIcon
PIconToRgn
PlotPIcon
UnregisterPIcon

RegisterPIconFromResource
ReleasePIcon
AcquirePIcon
GetPIconOwners
GetPIconFromFile
GetPIcon
GetPIconFromFolder

//Generally useful stuff
PIdentifyFolder
ResolveAliasWithMountFlags
IsAliasFile
ResolveAliasFileWithMountFlags
