- Welcome to NILBUILD!! This program automates the process of IMPORTING
- icons (.ICO files) into .NIL libraries. New for version 2 is the ability
- to EXPORT icons from .NIL as well as from .EXE and .DLL files.
-
- NILBUILD is freeware and may be freely copied and distributed in its orignal
- form for personal use. NILBUILD may NOT be used in a commercial application
- or resold or bundled with other software without permission.
-
-
- Improvements over Version 1.0
- =============================
- - listboxes for file/directory selection
- - creates new libraries
- - automatic repair of .ICO files if NFIXICO present
- - automatic check of system GDI resources
- - allows EXPORT as well as IMPORT of .ICO files
- - allows "DRAG & DROP" as well as "FILE SELECT" operation
- - on-line HELP facility
- - automatic report generation
- - allows file masking from source directories
- - runs approximately two and one half times faster!
-
- System Requirements
- ===================
-
- User must have Windows 3.0 and Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0 or better.
- NORTON must be set up as the shell for DRAG & DROP operation. The file
- ICONEDIT.EXE must be located in the Norton Desktop directory. For FILE SELECT
- operation, the NDW directory must contain BATCHRUN.EXE. For report and
- library viewing, the NDW directory must also contain NVIEWER.EXE. CLIPBRD.EXE
- must be present in the main WINDOWS directory. The NDW directory must be
- defined in the [Configuration] section of the NDW.INI file.
-
- Installation
- ============
- NILBUILD.EXE can be placed in ANY directory. However, I recommned that it be
- placed in the Norton Desktop directory with the other files. for proper
- operation NILBUILD should be launched from a desktop or group icon. The
- easiest way to create an icon is to "drag" the NILBUILD.EXE file out of a
- drive window and "drop" it onto any icon group or empty space on the desktop.
- The NILBUILD icon will appear automatically. (See Norton Desktop User's
- Manual, pages 5-16 and 2-22.)
-
- Additionally, the following files should be copied into the NDW directory:
-
- NILBUILD.SUB
- NILBUILD.HLP
- NFIXICO.PIF
-
- IMPORTANT!!! - Approximately 10% of all public domain icons contain an
- incompatibility which prevents them from being read by the Norton Icon
- Editor. Therefore, it is HIGHLY recommended - almost essential - that you
- obtain the file FIXICO.ZIP from the NDW section of the Symantec BBS at
- 1-408-973-9834 (9600 baud) or 973-9598 (2400 baud). Extract the file
- NFIXICO.EXE and place it in your NDW directory along with NFIXICO.PIF, which
- is supplied with NILBUILD. If BOTH of these files are present, NILBUILD will
- automatically run NFIXICO to remove most incompatibilities.
-
- Operation
- =========
- This doc file contains introductory and installation information only. For
- operational and procedural information, a very extensive help file,
- NILBUILD.HLP is included. To view the help file, launch NILBUILD from its
- startup icon and click on the HELP button. You may also double-click on the
- NILBUILD.HLP file from the file manager.
