   I was referring to such programs as Brush2Icon, which are actually 
easier to use than IconEdit.  With Brush2Icon, a person can whip up a
brush with a paint program, then have the brush rapidly converted to an
icon with one command.  I don't make icons very often, but whenever I
do, this method is the one I use.
