[Metacard] OS X: 'icns' resources?

[Ken Ray]

Vinciane,

I have used a freeware Mac emulator called Basilisk II. Keep in mind that
currently no Mac emulators (as far as I know) that will emulate a PowerPC
chip (they're all 68K), and will require that you get a Mac ROM file to use
to "power" the emulator (since they're not supposed to be able to distribute
these ROMs). So you'll need access to an old Mac, from which you can run the
"GetROM" software to make the ROM file.

Anyone else have any other ideas?
