- You need to convert a brush to C source code. (You could then compile this). Or
- possibly straight to an object lib. If you need assembler source code then I
- have to admit I am stumped, but for C source code then Iconian can be used to do
- the job - it does it in 256 cols (I think). IconEdit will probably screw your
- image up and leave you with 4 or 8 colours. This might be what you want 8^)

- Personally I use PPaint and you can do it straight from there no bother.
- There are a few progs on aminet to do the job as well, so you shouldn't have too
- much bother finding one. Hope this helps.
