This utility will allow you to scan through an .EXE or .DLL file and view
all icons present. Icons are not divided into icon groups, so you might
see multiple version of the same icon (these will be icons used for different
resolution devices). By using the View Next button, the next icon will be
displayed and by using the View Prev button the previously view icon can
be brought back and displayed. If the Save button is pressed, a filename
may be entered and the currently visible icon will be saved into a file with
the .ICO format. If a message is displayed that says "Unable to display this
icon", it means that the icon is either in CGA format (32x16 pixels) or in
hi-res format (64x64 pixels). A future enhancement should allow viewing of
these icons as well. Despite the fact that these icons can not be viewed,
Icon Extract can successfully save them to a file and the icons can be
viewed and/or edited by using the SDKPaint program.
This program was created as a quick way to view and maintain icons in some of
icon libraries (DLL's) available since the available tools (e.g. The Whitewater
and Edensoft Resource Toolkits) require somewhat more time to perform minor
functions such as this. This should offer an easy way to quickly extract only
the icons that one wants and/or needs.
If you find this program interesting and would like to hear about future
enhancements and/or tools please send $10 to:

NOTE: Future enhancements currently intended are the ability to replace an
icon in the EXE with one read from any .ICO file, the ability to save
icons in groups, and possibly the ability to edit an icon that is
currently being viewed.
