I just got the STart disk with Alex Leaven's Icon Editor program on it and I
like it a lot so far. My only problem is that I'm a lousy artist, so I was
wondering if any out there had any good icons they would be willing to post
for anyone on the net who has this program? Also, in the article, Alex
talks about renaming your ICON.DAT file by single clicking on it, typing the
letter X and hitting return, which he said would rename the file to
ICON.DAX. I dubiously tried this to no avail several times. Could he be
using some kind new ROMs that are still only Atari in-house? I can't
imagine why he would have given instructions that were so wrong otherwise.

That should have been: click once on ICON.DAT, go to the menu bar and select SHOW INFO from the FILE menu, type X and RETURN. That'll rename the file ICON.DAX. I have a few ICON images, but I didn't even think about posting them. I'll post mine, Adam, if you'll post yours (you can't be any worse of an artist than I). -Rich -- /////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ /// Richard E.

no, he just left out a step; click on the name, go to the 'file'

Rich,
Sure I'll post the icons I've done so far, which aren't many and aren't
very good, but hey, maybe I'll be labeled the latest of late in modern art
and make it to the Met in NYC. I would like to urge other people to post
their icons as well, perhaps naming the file yourname.ICN so we can
differentiate when downloading. So when I post mine, they'll be uuencoded
and arced with the coded/crunched name of ENGST.ICN. Whatever is in the
coded/crunched file can be named whatever you want, after people have
downloaded the icons it will be their problem to avoiding copying over their
icons because of identical names. Oh, and by the way, why don't we post
them here since they really aren't programs and thus don't really qualify
for the .binaries.st group.
Thanks,

I dubiously tried this to no > avail several times. The missing step syndrome strikes! First, single click on the file name. Then, move the mouse up to the FILES menu and select SHOW INFO. Now, type the letter X and click on OK. This changes the last letter of the file name to X. -- --->Neil Harris, Director of Marketing Communications, Atari Corporation UUCP: ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil GEnie: NHARRIS/ WELL: neil / BIX: neilharris / Delphi: NEILHARRIS CIS: 70007,1135 / Atari BBS 408-745-5308 / Usually the OFFICIAL Atari opinion
