Icon Maker is a DA that can generate ICN# resources, ICON resources, and hexadecimal descriptions of icons from anything that can be displayed on the screen. Another program, such as ResEdit, is needed to install the icon within an application.
When Icon Maker is started, the cursor becomes a square which is placed around the desired image. The border will not be included in the icon.
You may also type "h", "H", or "?" to view a summary of commands; typing any other key will exit.
When the desired area is in the square, click to make an ICN# resource. Command/click makes an ICON resource; Adding the option key makes a hex listing of the ICN# or ICON for use with a resource compiler. Both resources and listings can be appended to any existing file or put in a new file.

Please remember that the availability of future enhancements depends on the amount of user support for this program. Future versions of Icon Maker, for instance, might make it possible to use icons without first using ResEdit. Users who support this program will be notified by mail when new versions are available. Money sent for one version of Icon Maker covers all future versions as well.
