- A little something I did to be even more fancy is to create an icon for
- it and just drop the icons of the windows icons I want to convert and
- they even get copied to a specific directory.
-
- -drag a program template to your desktop (or inside a folder)
- -in the PATH/FILENAME tell it where cvtioco is (or use the find...)
- -In parameter put the following
- %*path_of_where_you_want_the_converted_icon_to_go\%**F
- -set OS/2 Window, Start Minimized, Close on exit
-
- VOILA! You can even drag MULTIPLE Win icons to have they all converted
- in one shot...
-
- My thanks again to Tim for helping me to get a directories printing
- icons, wich got me to read the online docs, wich got me to create the
- above ;-).
- Hope this help Roger an anyone else! (For once I had a
- "sort-of-a-solution" rather than a question...)
-
- See You around the 'Net!!
