Usage: Icon2Brush infofile
Do not end infofile with ".info".
Icon2Brush is a utility which will convert an icon to an IFF Brush. These
brushes can be used with a program such as DPaint. To use it, simply (in
CLI) type:
Icon2Brush infofile
This will result in a file called infofile.br1. If the icon is NOT an
animated icon (those icons who have different "pictures" shown when
selected), you will see the message "Alternate image not a graphic image.".
If the icon you have selected IS an animated icon, two files, infofile.br1
and infofile.br2, will be created, and no message will appear. If you use
a path extension in you infofile filename, the .br files will be written in
those paths. For example, if you type Icon2Brush DF1:Foobar/WetDog,
WetDog.br1 will be written in directory DF1:Foobar.
If you have any praise, money, or job offers you want to get to me, I can
be reached at (805) 985-1489. I live in CA, so don't call too early!
Addendum - I came across another program which does the same thing as
Icon2Brush. It is called ITB. I was distraught to find out that it
is much "fancier" than mine, also. But, on the two icons I attempted
to convert to IFF files, FACC.info and the Online 2.0 Disk.info, it
did not work correctly. I don't know if there is another version of
ITB yet, but I've yet to find an icon which Icon2Brush will not convert.
