- Standard Answer #3: "It depends." :-)
-
- A real kludge this, but it works for certain applications: fire up
- IconEdit (yup, IconEdit). Doesn't matter what icon you have loaded. Now,
- import an IFF brush into it (you knew you could do this, right?). Then,
- from the FILE menu, select "SAVE AS C SOURCE" (I think that's the text,
- but at least you know where and what sorta to look for).
-
- Caveats: if the size constraints and color constraings and depth
- constraints etc are not matching with your needs, this is useless. But
- for small little brushes, it works pretty well, with slight modifications
- here and there. It at least spares you a lot of the grunt work.
