Load_RegisterFileInfo is exported by Ppcload.dll, which runs on the desktop computer—it is intended to be called from a setup program.

To ensure consistency with other icons displayed by the H/PC, Palm-size PC Explorer, icons should follow the two bit per pixel format and incorporate only the following colors: black, white, dark gray and light gray.
