- Sheesh!! Are you kidding? Why didn't you just take a snapshot of the
- Mac screen with the command-S (or something similar) keystroke and
- take the snapshot file home to your OS/2 machine for processing?? I did
- this with a TON of Mac AND NeXT icons and it worked great. Just take what-
- ever format picture you end up with (TIFF on NeXT and PICT on Mac) and
- convert/view it - either using utils easily available on the Mac or using
- utils on the PC (Hijaak). Then CUT it and PASTE it into the icon editor.
- Just the thought of sitting there with graph paper... oh god!

- I'd keep away from this as well. Apple has demonstrated a remarkable
- lust for suing people :)
