Iconmaker may be used for any purpose and is thus in the public domain.

Iconmaker is most useful when it is readily available on the system
disk.
 
The best way to install the iconmaker into your system is to place the 
executable iconmaker onto your system disk in the C: directory and the
rest of the required files
 
		project, project.info
		tool,    tool.info
		drawer,  drawer.info


in this kit into a directory also on the system disk, for example
sys:icon_templates.  Then add the following line to your system startup
file sys:s/startup-sequence:

	assign icons: sys:icon_templates
	
Note that the file 'drawer' is not supplied since it is a directory file
that must be created as for example,

	makedir sys:icon_templates/drawer

The files TOOL and PROJECT have been provided in the kit although they
are only dummy files that are necessary so you can use the workbench
option INFO on the icon files (likewise, the sub-directory drawer is not
used by iconmaker but permits one to manipulate the icon files from the
workbench). 

Iconmaker can be invoked from workbench as well as cli, so you  may want
to create a project icon file in the root level of the system disk that
has as its default tool  c:iconmaker. When you want to run iconmaker on
the files in a directory that has an icon, do an extended selection of
iconmaker and the icon for the drawer (in that order).  This is then
equivalent to typing 

		iconmaker   device:drawer 

to the cli. 

The supplied icons are only samples; you will want to place your favorite
ones in the icon_templates directory. The drawer icon is the standard
amigados icon, whereas the project icon is one that I use for almost all my
text files (it is setup with the default tool of ram:clicon and will invoke
my editor on the file when clicked). The tool icon is a general tool icon
that I found on a bbs but can't remember who should be acknowledged for it.

Note that there is nothing magic about the name iconmaker, you may
shorten it to anything you want.
