Easy Icon Creation from Bitmaps

SUMMARY: Quickly generate icon files from bitmap images in Windows 98.

Do you have a great bitmap editor but no decent icon editors? Here's a simple solution to your icon-making problems that even lets you make full-color icons. Create a 32 x 32 bitmap. Use 16 colors if you want to make a standard icon file, more colors if you want to make a high-color icon. Now, after saving your bitmap, just rename the file to have an extensive of ".ico". Presto! You have an instant icon.
