I just checked, and the space is there. The few .pkg files I have stored
on the LC's hard drive also don't show the package icon.
But I noticed one of my .pkg files had the right icon, so I compared it
to the ones PackType had processed, and it was using type="pkg " and
creator="NTP1". I changed one of the package files that didn't have an
icon to use those, and it magically got an icon...
Any idea why? I'd much rather use PackType than ResEdit...

Ah, ok. Entirely possible, as it is rather old :-)
