0.0 Introduction

Itb is a program that converts the picture image of a WorkBench Icon into
the IFF ILBM format so that it can be loaded into an graphics editor!
The program will handle the two different types of icons, those with
alternate images and those without.

1.0 Running Itb

Itb can only be run from the CLI (this will probably be fixed soon).
There are three ways of invoking it.  First just typing:

   Itb

will result in the copyright notice, short instructions, and the version
number being printed.  By typing a command of the following format:

   Itb input output.pic

Itb will read in the icon named "input.info" (note well: you DO NOT
type the ".info" part of the name!) and will convert it to the IFF
format and write it into the file named "output.pic".  This is the
mode to use on Icons which do not have an alternate image.  If this
method is applied to an icon with an alternate image a warning message
will be printed and you will (of course) only get one of the icon's
two images!

If you invoke Itb with the line:

   Itb input normal.pic selected.pic

the program will read the icon contained in the file "input.info" and
write the Icon's unselected (normal) image to the file "normal.pic".
Also, if the Icon has an alternate (selected state) image it will be
written to the file "selected.pic".

2.0 Memory Usage

Itb does use a bit, but as icons are generally quite small this should not
be a problem.

3.0 Support

Any comments, suggestions, or bug reports you might care to make will be
gratefully received.  If you are interested in seeing this program improve
much send a contribution ($10-$20 to me at the address above).  My current
policy on improving the program is to release a new version for every 5
contributions I receive, or when I need a new feature!
