The programs IMAGE-ED (Fish Disk 242) and ICONMERGER (Fish It always suprises me when there's a all-in-one program about that does everything that people ask for, and nobody knows about it. For icons, that program is IconMaster, by John Scheib. It was on an Amnews disk (second issue, about the time WoC was in California), but was released into the Public Domain aftetr the issue had been out thhdree months. At least, that's what the doc file on the Amnews disk said. Abilities it has: 1) Complete, any-size icon editing with scrolling window. 2) A complete set of drawing tools )line, circle, arc, etc.) 3) Ability to use any Amiga font in your icons 4) Ability to load in IFF brushes into both primary and alternate images 5) Ability to do any icon type, even change icon types on the fly. 6) Ability to set all icon ToolTypes, Tools, and flags within the program. 7) Allows you to modify existing icons as well as create new ones. 8) Uses the ARP FileRequester to set what you're creating an icon for. 9) Allows you to save either icon+flags or flags only, making it a poor man's Info command If anyone wants it, mail before Dec 15th and will mail it back out to ya. (Losing me account around the 15th....does anyone know of a public USENET tie-in in Southern California/LA/Long Beach area?)
