Gif2Icon.exe is a simple utility to convert a GIF picture to a
Windows 3.0 icon. Windows 3.0 icons are 32 x 32 x 16 colors,
therefore the Gif should be the same. I have included a Gif this
size with the correct palette for Windows.
This package should contain the four following files...
GIF2ICON.EXE
GIF2ICON.DOC
PALETTE.GIF
SAMPLE.GIF

To create your very own icon proceed as follows:
■ Load PALETTE.GIF into your favorite paint program.
I use PICTOR because it supports Gifs directly, but
there is no reason PALETTE.GIF can't be converted to
PCX for editing, and the back to a Gif for use with
Gif2Icon. (PICEM is real handy for these conversions).
■ At the Dos prompt type Gif2Icon name. Name should be the
name of your icon with no extension, ".GIF" is assumed.
■ Your Gif will be converted to an icon called "name.ICO",
where name is the same as the Gif name.
■ Run Windows.
■ In the Program Manager, click on program icon you wish to
change one time.
■ Select File
■ Select Properties...
■ Select Change Icon and key in the drive\path\name.ico of
your icon.
■ Dat's all!
