About IconForge
-------------------------
IconForge, from CursorArts, is quite simply the best, most
comprehensive utility available for creating and editing Windows
format icons and cursors. Its tools include: brush, line, circle,
rectangle, flood fill, rotate, flip, area select, text, nudge and
zoom. Transparent areas may be easily painted onto the icon image
to allow background colors to show through. IconForge easily works
with multiple icons at the same time for easy cut and paste between
images. These powerful functions and IconForge's easy-to-use
interface make painting your own icon-sized pictures a snap!
IconForge handles ICO format icons, Cursors (CUR) and animated
Icon/Cursor (ANI) files. IconForge imports BMP, PCX, JPG, TIF, and
PNG format bitmap images and even imports icons contained within
Windows program EXE and DLL files. Also features context-sensitive
help, Mutli-Level Undo/Redo, and Windows clipboard support.
Requires Windows 3.1x or Windows 95/NT compatible (both 16 and
32-bit versions are available). $37.95 + S&H
------------------------------
INSTALLING IconForge
------------------------------
Before you can begin using IconForge you must run the IconForge
Setup program from Windows. In most cases you cannot simply copy
the software onto your hard drive. The files on the CursorArts
distribution disks are stored in a special compressed form to
save space. The Setup program is the only way to insure that
IconForge is properly unpacked and installed. To install
IconForge, follow the steps below:
NOTE: Depending on where you obtained your copy of this
program, you may not need to run Setup - so don't panic if
you can't find it. If you have a file named ICONFORGE.EXE, you
have the basic program. Just copy that file to your hard drive
in a directory of your choice and launch it from the Windows
Program Manager, File Manager or Windows 95 Explorer.
1. Start Windows.
2. If you received IconForge on diskette, place it into
the floppy drive now. If you downloaded IconForge in
archived format, use PKUNZIP to uncompress the files to a
working directory on your hard disk.
3. Activate the Windows Program Manager or Explorer.
4. Select "Run..." from the Program Manager's "File" menu. If you
are using Windows 95 or NT, the "Run" option can be
selected from the "Start" menu.
5. In the "Command Line" field enter one of the following:
- If you placed the IconForge diskette into drive
A:, type: A:\SETUP
- If you placed the IconForge diskette into drive
B:, type: B:\SETUP
- If you downloaded IconForge, type:
C:\DIRNAME\SETUP (Remember to replace DIRNAME with the name
of the directory where you uncompressed the IconForge.)
6. Follow the instructions on the screen.

CUSTOMER SERVICES & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
-------------------------------------
CursorArts Co. provides its registered software customers with free
technical support. We also provide limited technical support to
persons evaluating our products during the 30 day evaluation
period.
We do, however, strongly encourage people to purchase a full version
of IconForge. Software development and support is very expensive and
we need your help if we are to continue to provide quality programs
at affordable prices. If you haven't already, please take a few
moments to register. This will assure you of eligibility for
technical support, product update notification, special discounts,
new product announcements, etc.
However, if you are experiencing problems, please contact our
technical support department so that we can solve your problem
BEFORE you purchase. Purchasing can solve many problems but it
does not always endow the program with features and functions that
do not exist.

in the manual or on-line help, you may use one of the following
avenues to obtain technical assistance:
