I need to generate _a_lot_ of ICON resources for a program I am writing.
Is there any piece of software around written specifically for this task?
'RMaker' will do the trick, except I have to figure out the hex representation
of the 32 by 32 bit map by hand. That is too much work.
'ResEdit' will work too, but it isn't very friendly.
What else is out there??
Thanks in advance

I create them in SuperPaint (or FullPaint or MacPaint) and use the IconMaker DA that has been posted to a number of services including this one in the past. This allows you to "block off" a 32x32 portion of the screen and save that as an ICON. If you want the hex representation, use ResTools 2.0 (recently posted here) to decompile it.

If you want the hex representation, use ResTools 2.0 (recently posted >here) to decompile it. Icon Maker, which I wrote and distributed as shareware, can create hex representations also. To learn how press "h" while the accessory is running. If you use Icon Maker I recommend that you use version 2.1. This version is much more useful than the 1.x versions and fixes a bug that was in version 2.0. -- Steve Fine Internet: fine@gondor.psu.edu UUCP: {allegra|ihnp4|akgua}!psuvax1!gondor!fine BITNET: fine@psuvaxg CSNET: fine%gondor@penn-state ARPANET: fine%psuvaxg.bitnet@wiscvm.arpa
