What Is GT Icon Extract v2.0

GT Icon Extract v2.0 is a utility that will extract icons from Windows executable (.EXE) files and Windows dynamic link library (.DLL) files.  This utility is brought to you for free.  However, I have not been known to refuse money.

Installation

Distribution Files:

ICO_EX20.EXE	The main executable.  You can put this file in any directory you wish.
ICO_EX20.HLP	The help file.  You must put this file in the same directory as ICO_EX11.EXE
ICO_DLL.DLL	This file contains components used in the program.  You must put this file in the same directory as ICO_EX11.EXE
CTL3D.DLL	Dynamic link library used in the program.  Place this file in your \windows\system directory.  Please check to make sure you dont have a file of the same name in your \windows\system directory.  If you do, check its date and make sure its not newer than the file in this distribution.  Either way, its a good idea to make a backup of that file before copying over it.
THREED.VBX	The same installation note as CTL3D.DLL
GTTBAR.VBX	Either goes with ICO_EX20.EXE  or the same directory as CTL3D.DLL
File Not Included But Required:

VBRUN300.DLL	Although this file is needed to run theprogram, it is not included in the package to reduce its size.  If you dont have this file in your system (check your ~\windows or ~\windows\system directory) you can download it from the site where you acquired this program.  If not, write the author and hell be happy to send a copy.


	Bugs Zapped!
08/04/93	Removed function that needed another 31K dynamic link library and which was accidentally left off from version 1.0 causing a nasty File Not Found message.


Choosing an Extract Directory

Before extracting icons, please make sure that you have choosen a directory to which the icons will be extracted.  Also make sure that you have enough disk space for the extracted icons in that directory.

Enter the path in the text box as pictured below.  You can also use the directory browser by clicking on the Browse button.

Setting Options

	Setup Button
Click on the Setup button to bring up the Setup dialog.

Confirm Extract Action

If this box is checked, you will be asked to confirm extraction.  This is done each time you click on the Extract button and not for each file selected.

Warn Overwrite

If a file is encountered with the same filename given to the current icon about to be extracted, you will be presented a dialog box to choose an appropriate action.

Icon Prefix

This prefix will be appended a unique number and will be used as the filename for extracted icon(s).  If this is left blank, GT Icon Extract v2.0 will use the first five letters of the source file as the prefix.

Default Extract Directory

This will be the extract directory used each time you start GT Icon Extract v2.0.  The extract directory entry on the main screen overrides this one.  To facilitate the directory selection, click on the Browse button.


The Browse button brings up a dialog box to facilitate directory selection.


The Select All button allows you to select all the files currently listed in the filelist box.


 If a function assigned to a button is not available, the button will be grayed to give a cue of the state of the button, and hence, the availability of the function.


 If a function assigned to a button is not available, the button will be grayed to give a cue of the state of the button, and hence, the availability of the function.


 Click on the Extract button to start extracting icons from the selected file(s).


Replace Dialog

Choose:	To:
Yes	To replace the current file indicated.
No	To let GT Icon Extract v2.0 pick a unique name for the icon currently extracted.  The filename will compose of a ~ character followed by the first three letters of the prefix in context, and finally, a unique random number.
Cancel	To terminated the Extract operation.
Replace All	To replace the current file and all subsequent files having the same filename as the extracted icon.  Choosing this option, in essence, disables the Warn Overwrite for the current extract operation.
