G'Day,

	I have managed to collect over 2200 icons now and it poses a bit of a
problem.  All of the .ICO files are quite small and hence waste a fair bit of
disk space.  That is not my major problem though.  Because of the small size it
increases my backup times by a lot because the tape has to stop/start quite a
bit instead of streaming.  What used to take 5 minutes now takes just over 2
hours just with the addition of 1.5MB or so of icons!

	I have seen .EXE files that contain a lot of icons too so what I am
after is some sort of program that can assemble all of my .ICO files into a
single or at least a few .EXE files.

	Anybody got any ideas??

David.
