    When a Macintosh player saves a Infocom game position onto a second 
disk, it's possible for the save file not to get associated with the correct
icon.  Instead of appearing as a picture of an opened book and bookmark, 
it appears as a blank sheet of paper (the standard default icon).

    This is a general problem with the way the Macintosh Finder works.
It can occur with any application that creates files with customized icons, 
including MacWrite and MacPaint.  Among Infocom games, it's most likely 
to occur with AMFV.  This is because EZIP games are shipped with a special 
MiniFinder which aggravates the problem.

    The following steps will install the correct icon.  They assume a system
with a single disk drive.

1.  Boot the computer with any disk (except the save disk!) which contains 
a normal Finder, and wait for the desktop to appear.  If the application 
disk has a normal Finder, use it.

2.  If the application disk lacked a normal Finder (e.g. AMFV), eject the 
Finder disk and insert the application disk now.

3.  Eject the application disk and insert the save disk (un-write-protected).
A couple of disk swaps may be requested.  The correct icon will be copied
automatically from the application disk to the save disk.
