o  Remaps to current Workbench palette
o  Both fractional and integer scaling
o  User defined icon size
o  Allows templates for both tooltypes and/or background underlay
o  User defined appicon image
o  Ability to place picture dimension text onto icon
o  Preserves aspect of pictures that contain aspect information
o  User defined screen aspect. (for non-lace or s-hires users)

o  Datatype  loader/scaler  module  is  available for registered E 3.0
   users.
o  NewIcons support (optional, not included)

   68000

Recommended:
