           DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER FILES IN YOUR ICONS DIRECTORY!
                          ONLY HAVE *.ICN files



 ICMAINT explained: 

    Note: Starting with Version 2.70 ICMAINT.EXE has been totally
          rewritten along with ICFILE.EXE, to break to 400 icons
          limit.  They can both now handle well over 1100 icons!

          This Icon Maintenance program is included free with
          IconUpDater.  You can run it from the DOS prompt just
          by typing ICMAINT, or your can set it up as a EVENT
          for your BBS to run.

          IcMaintenance use to extract to ZIP (or ARJ) file
          to compare changes with you Working icons Directory.
          No more.  It now keeps it's own data file "BBSICONS.DAT"
          SO DO NOT DELETE this file... IconUpDater, ICFILE, and
          ICMAINT all need to access this file!!!
          IcMaint will use this data file to compare the icons
          in Working Icons Directory. IcMaint will read all the
          *.ICN files in memory that are in the path you
          specified as your "Working Icons Directory."

          IcMaint will compare all the icons.  If any icons were
          added to, deleted from, or update (becase the file date
          changed or the file SIZE has changed) then IcMaint will 
          reZIP your Working Icons Directory in to your ALLICONS 
          Zip file, then copy the ZIP file back to the path that 
          you specified in ICSETUP.

          When IcMaint detects that Icons have been deleted from
          your Working Icons Directory, it will put them in to
          a data file for IconUpDater's Space Saver Option to use.
          This file is called: "OLDICONS.DAT"**.  

          ** This datafile has the same name as the old one from
          version 2.67 and down...but you must delete it with this
          version (2.70)... they are in compatible!!

          After reading this you should realize the importance
          of maintaining your Working Icons Directory!  When you get
          or create new icons for your BBS all you have to do is
          throw them in your Working Icons Directory and run
          ICMAINT from the DOS prompt and it will automatically
          update all your configs file with the current date
          the icons were last updated and re-zip your ALLICONS
          ZIP file with your new Icons.  Realize that as you
          stop using certain icons, please remove them from
          your Working Icons Directory.  If you want to keep them,
          then put them else where.  This way your Callers
Space->   can use the Space Save Option so they can delete old
Saver     icons off their Hard Drive.

          Remember, individual icons seems small, but when
          you have 1000 icons, it can eat up HD space.



   EVENTS:

          ICMAINT.EXE and ICMAINT.CFG MUST BE in the SAME directory
          as ICONUPD.EXE (IconUpDater)!!

          ex. ( of Event.Bat)
 
          c:
          cd\iconupd
          ICMAINT
          cd\wc30
          exit

          Listings out what's in the data file.
          -------------------------------------
              You can tell ICMaint to create a listing of the icons
              that are in your BBSICONS.DAT and OLDICONS.DAT file.
              It will create a text file with the full path and file
              name of each icon on a separate line... ideal when
              want to pass it to pkzip of gsz.

              To list the icons in your BBSICONS.DAT type the
              following at the DOS prompt in the IconUpDater 
              Directory:

                        c:\>icmaint /dat

              The switch "/dat", tells icmaint to just create
              a text file listing of all the icons in the dat file.
              To list the icons in your OLDICONS.DAT type the
              following at the DOS prompt in the IconUpDater 
              Directory:

                        c:\>icmaint /old
