try Peter K' icon library:
"This icon.library won't waste ChipMem for any Workbench icons."
http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4
Yes but it doesn't solve the issue of the "View By Name" which just eats chip memory like there's no tomorrow, leaving the Workbench with no Chip memory free at all (if there's a large listing)...plain ridiculous if you ask me.
So whichever library is responsible, can we (OS3.0/3.1 users) use loadmodule to use one from OS3.5/3.9 which presumably doesn't have that problem?
