One thing that drives PROGMAN batty is short icon files.  Make sure all
yours are the same size.

I think ICONDRAW has some bugs.  Occasionally it will write a short
file.  Occasionally it'll stop recording changes to the small-size icon
indicator or to the file.  You'll work on something, save it, come back
later and the last 10 minutes of your changes are missing.  Very
frustrating.  Also the fill-box operator often doesn't update on the
small icon.

Another way to make icons is with Paintbrush's ZoomIn feature, followed
by a capture with PBIcon, another shareware utility.  PBIcon lets you
grab about 100x100 raster from anywhere on the screen, then scroll
around in it to pick the exact 32x32 you want.  With Paintbrush's ZoomIn
you get fine pixel control (and reliable saving) -- when you're done,
capture with PBIcon and save to whatever you wanted.
