REQUIREMENTS
 Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least 68020+ and os3.


DESCRIPTION
 Ico2Info converts Windows .ICO files with either 2,16,256 or 16.7M
 colors to os3.5 color icons. If you don't have upgraded to os3.5
 yet, you must have newicon.library installed to use this program.


USAGE
 The program can only be started from a shell, the following
 options are provided:

 FROM/M/A,TO/K,TYPE/K
 
 FROM/M/A: source dir(s)/file(s).
 
 TO/K: path where to store the .info files.
 
 TYPE/K: type of icon to create (DISK,DRAWER,TOOL (default),
  PROJECT,GARBAGE).


HISTORY
 44.0	first public release.
 44.1	added newicon.library support for os3.0/1 based systems.
	decoding of 2color icons didn't work and crashed the
	system, removed the bug without even knowing that it 
	existed;) <Dirk Neubauer>.
 44.2	implemented transparency support (this requires that the
 	icons don't use more than 255 colors).
 44.3	the program can read/convert truecolor icons now. Thanks
 	to Allan Nielsen for the icons.
 44.4	replaced Bayer16 dithering code by floyd-steinberg 
 	dithering. if you had any problems using this program
 	in conjuction with NewIcons, this version should fix the
 	problem.
 44.5	last time I made NewIcons work but broke os3.5 icon support;)
 	<Gunther Nikl>
