MakeIcon
~~~~~~~~
WB2.0 utility by Robert Lang.
Note - You need WB2.0 with exec.library V36 or greater to use this program.
MakeIcon is a further extension of my IMakeDir program, this time it simply
creates default icons of type specified for a file.
Usage is simple :
MakeIcon type name
and the file name.info will be created of type according to :
DISK - default disk icon
DRAWER - default drawer icon
TOOl - default tool icon ie. an executable
PROJECT - default project icon ie. a data file
GARBAGE - default garbage icon
These are simply the icon defined as default icons under the WB2.0 icon editor,
corresponding to their relevant names.
So, when I create a program called game, if I want someone to check it out and
they aren't a shell-freak like me, I just do :
makeicon tool game
and then an icon appears for the game, so they can double-click and play !
Simple ??? Simple !!! Note that if you want to make an icon for a drive,
then when using the disk type, the file name will have to be "disk"
for it to work...ie. makeicon disk df0:disk !
MakeIcon may be freely distributed, but I retain all copyright to it and this
documentation. MakeIcon may NOT be used on ANY commercial product, and may
only be distributed for a copying fee comparable to the latest Megadisc prices,
and only if this document and MakeIcon remain unaltered.
MakeIcon is as usual dedicated to my girlfriend, Suzanne Day.
Enjoy !
