=========================================================
ICO2BMP is a tool for converting icons to bitmaps (of the same name). It will automatically
convert one or a list of icon files to bitmap files giving the resulting bitmap files the same
name as the icon files with a >bmp extension. ICO2BMP is also a handy tool for see you icon
files. By moving to a directory with multiple icon files you can use the arrow ketys to move
through the list of icons while seeing each as the selection bar highlights the icon name.
The files contained in the zip are:
1. VBRUN300.DLL (Optional) - Necessary for running but you may have had it already
and downloaded the version without VBRUN300.DLL. If
you have Visual Basic for Windows installed on your
system you already have the file.
2. THREED.VBX - Necessary for the 3-D effects.
3. ICO2BMP.EXE - The program executable
4. ICO2BMP.HLP - Windows helpfile for ICO2BMP
5. README.TXT - This file.
