[Metacard] OS X: 'icns' resources?

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

use a Mac emulator

windows sucks in more than one way, for example, it can't handle resource

compatibility fileOS (something that allows reading mac disks) but i doubt
any Win software is resource compatible (other than photoshop MAYBE...)
