The Icon Archive - MWB
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Collected by Kevin A. Kirk
Started August 1993.
Last updated 14th September 1994.
First Edition.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
A collection of MagicWorkBench icons, sorted according to the
pictures and the applications they show. Want an Printer icon? Look in
the Printer drawer!
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 2.5 Meg of Hard Disk space for the Archive.
- A further 2.5 Meg on the same Hard Disk for installation (which
can be recovered after the installation is complete - see below)
- Kickstart 2.04 or above.
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having an little artistic skill, don't have the talent to create
my own perfect icons, therefore I collect as many as possible.
However when I come to try and find one to suit my purposes,
e.g. an icon showing a computer then I have to sort through all the
different archives until I find one which will do. Wouldn't be a
lot easier if they were all in corresponding drawers, so I could just
open the Computer drawer and there are all the computer icons? Yep I
thought and so this now rather large collection of icons came about.
The other problem I was having was finding icons all of the same
size to use with the Toolmanager Dock. I have created several separate
drawers in which there are nothing but icons of the same size.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To fit the archive onto the disk, it was compressed in two stages. It
was firstly collected into an uncompressed archive and then compressed
onto this disk. The complete unarchived collection is around 2.5 Meg
in size.
Due to this, it has to be decompressed in two stages. First it has to be
decompressed off this disk to the Hard Disk to create the uncompressed
archive. Then the uncompressed archive is expanded into the full Icon
Archive.
The installation script provided will ask for the directory where you
want The Icon Archive to be put. It will then create an Archive directory
where all the icons will be installed. It will delete the uncompressed
archive when it has finished the installation.
More Icons
~~~~~~~~~~
This disk just contains the 1000 or so MagicWorkBench icons from
The Icon Archive. There are over 2500 more icons in the Icon Archive,
which can be found on three further disks. The complete archive takes up
about 10 Meg of disk space!
Compiler's Note
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Collect the other disks.
Enjoy the archive.
bYe,
Kevin.
