Hello.
Unfortunately, this is one of the backward-incompatible changes
that I made in this release. While it is documented in the system
release notes, I imagine this is of little consolation to you, and I
apologize for the change.
The Icon jet no longer exists -- it has been replaced by the
Label jet. (The Label jet existed before, but its functionality has
been expanded to include the ability to display bitmaps, hence the Icon
went away.)
So, all you should need to do is replace the word "Icon" with
the word "Label" and things will work again. I knew that making this
change would potentially affect a few people, but I hope that the impact
will be minimal.
Since it seems that you have done more customization of dash
than most, you have you may want to read the system release notes for
other changes which may affect you. You can do this by typing:
attach info
xdvi /mit/info/Release.dir/Release74.system
There are some new features documented there, as well, that you
may find interesting or useful.
Again, I apologize for any inconveniences. I hope that they are
outweighed by the new features available.
-Chris.
