Long:

  IconChief  is  a Program which causes the Workbench to use more than just
the  usual  6  Default-Icons for Files.  If you take a look at a drawer via
Workbench  using  the Option "all Files" of the Menuitem "Show",  all Files
which  have no Icon will be displayed using one of three Default-Icons,  as
there  are  Drawer,   Program  and  Project.  The other 3 Default-icons are
reserved for Disks, Kickstart-Disks and, of course, the Trashcan.

  Especially for files of the kind Program and Project you can find out the
contents of this file by analysing or by extensions. For example if it is a
LHA-Archive  or  a  Text can easily be detected.  But even under OS 3.1 the
system doesn't pay attention to it and uses one Standard-Icon for all those
different kinds of files.

  Now comes IconChief to do what you miss.  When displaying the Files, each
of  them  will be analysed and a Default-Icon will be selected depending on
the detected kind of the file.  The workbench will get this Default-Icon as
the  "real"  Icon  owing  to  the  File.  The advantage you get is a better
optical representation of the kind of a File.  Furthermore, you can set the
Tooltypes  of  the  single Default-Icons depending on the kind.  So you can
simply  call  a  program  for  a file by double-clicking the Icon,  e.g.  a
Textviewer or a Pictureviewer, displaying Archives or playing Music.

  The analysis of the files will be done using the WhatIs.library,  written
by Sylvain Rougier and Pierre Carrette.
