With this version of Design SHELL we have included a utility that
converts Windows Icon files (.ICO) to the format that Design SHELL can
use (.ICN).
This documentation will explain how to use the Icon file converter
(ICO2ICN.EXE).
This Icon converter must be run from the DOS prompt and not through
any kind of DOS shell or menu application.
To operate the Icon converter:
1>- Copy the ICO2ICN.EXE file to any directory that is included in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT files PATH statement.
2>- Copy all of the Windows Icon files (.ICO) that you want to convert,
into a temporary directory on your hard drive.
3>- From the DOS prompt, move into this new directory.
4>- From the DOS prompt, type: ICO2ICN and then press enter.
5>- Once the Icon converter is up and running, click your left mouse
button on the Files button.
6>- At this point, all .ICO files should be listed in a scrolling tag
menu.
7>- Tag all of the Icon files that you want to convert by clicking
your left mouse button on the filenames you want to convert. A
tagged file should have an asterisk to the left of the filename.
You can also tag all files by clicking on the plus key (+) button
or un-tag all files by clicking on the minus key (-) button.
8>- This Icon conversion program provides you with two conversion
options. Just below the files list, notice a prompt that says
'Delete .ICO after convert'. If you click your left mouse button
on the gray button, a red check mark should appear. Clicking on
the button will toggle this option on or off. If a red check mark
is present, the original .ICO file will be deleted after the
conversion process. If a red check mark is not present, the
original .ICO file will not be deleted, only a copy will be made
in the .ICN format.
9>- After all files you want converted are tagged and you have set the
conversion method, simply click your left mouse button on the
'Convert Tagged' button. Each .ICO file will be displayed on
screen and you will be prompted as to whether you want to convert
this Icon. Clicking on the green <enter> button will convert this
icon and the converted Icon will then be displayed. Clicking on
the lavender <not> button will skip this Icon and move to the next
tagged Icon to convert.
10>- After all tagged Icons have been converted, you will be returned
to the beginning menu screen. Simply click your left mouse button
on the 'esc' button to exit to DOS. Copy all converted Icon files
(.ICN) into the directory that you are using to store your Design
SHELL Icons in. You may then delete all remaining files in the
temporary directory and then remove the temporary directory.
