RunTheRisc/MacIcons/!MacIcon/!HELP

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Mac Icon Version 1.0 By Mike Cook                 M.cook@mmu.ac.uk
�Musbury Consultants April 1996

This converts a Macintosh resource file into a 256 colour sprite.
It will extract the icl8 type icon and the mask of the ICN# icon.
Simply drag a resorce file onto the icon bar or the storage window if open.

Closing the window will clear the sprite file so remember to save it first.
It can be dragged directly into a !Paint window.

The icon for this appplication is the resorce editor icon from the Mac but
with an Acorn sprite file shown on the screen.

Some Mac icons are supplied on empty folders, it apperes that CC's MacFs can't
cope with this and you get a "file not found" error.
Also MacFs throws away the resorce data on text files.
The best way to handle this is to copy the icl8 and ICN# resorces off the folders
and text files in ResEdit on the Mac and make a resource file.
This application can cope with up to a 128K resorce file with a maximum of 70 icons.
