I have snooped around in the icons.dll file and found this reference: Dynacomm Resource Library as its title. Does anyone know who these people are? I saw no copyright notice, which is unusual. I don't know anything about the structure of a dll, or even really what it does, but internally it seemed to have some kind of directory info in it, and at the very end of the file there were short names decribing each icon. I guess this could put to rest what some of the icons are for. I can post this list if anyone's interested, but if you have the file, you can use debug to look at it. Most of the names had something to do with communications and Dynacomm sounds like a comm program. If you rename it to icon.exe and try to run it from dos you get the familiar this program needs ms windows. Is this thing ripped off from somebodies' program, or is it part of a distribution scheme? Enquiring minds want to know. I would be interested to know if you could link in other icons or get a directory listing of it. Also, does anyone know what Presentation Manager uses for its icon format? Most of the icons look the same. I tried to use the 123.ico from Lotus 123/G as an icon for 123 Release 3. If I could just change a few bytes in the header, that would be nifty. jp
