Enclosed within this archive are some of the Windows 3 icons I've made for my system. I lean towards graphics programs; thus, some of the applications might not be too familiar. None-the-less I think you'll find them interesting.
I've also included the editor I used to create them, ICONDRAW.EXE and it's accompanying text file, ICONDRAW.DOC.

A hint: When deciding on an icon for your applications and you're a little bored with what PROGMAN.EXE has to offer, try substituting CONTROL.EXE instead. As an example I use the "Crayola" crayons for some of my graphics' editors, instead of creating new ones.
Essentially there are plenty of icons available, from within the applications that come with Windows.
Another hint: there are also some "iconable" Windows applications that are not documented, nor created when Windows 3 is installed. SYSEDIT.EXE is one of my personal favourites - it allows me to make changes to any of the following files: WIN.INI; SYS.INI; AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS; without using NOTEPAD or similar. Check out some of the other .EXE files for some additional surprises.
