I've heard that you can create icons using the paint program supplied with Windows 3.0. Is it true? I don't quite seem to find out how to do it. - Stephen

Pretty nice icon editor. Color and all, of course... Kerry Person (kperson@plains.NoDak.edu)

Also, there was a windows 3.0 icon editor recently posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc. -- Bob Goodearl -- goodearl@world.std.com

Bob Goodearl -- goodearl@world.std.com The icon editor on cica.cica.indiana is very nice. Looks like a lot of fun. I wish I could edit the icons of an existing Windows program, though. Is there any utility program that will let me do this? How about bundling the dozens of .ICO files into a .DLL file, like another icon file found on cica? Having all the icons split into separate files like they are now can create significant overhead in file storage.

Windows Paint will not create icons. You can use one of the other utilities mentioned in reply to your question. Ken Sykes Disclaimer: The above opinions are solely my own.
