Version:  1.3
Type:     util/cli
Requires: OS 2.0
Kurz:     V1.3 des Shell Befehls zum Iconkopieren

IconCopy is a small and simple shell command to copy an icon image
from a source to a destination. No tooltypes will be overwritten if
there is already an icon at the destination. If it is not started on
a OS 3.5 system it uses the newicon.library if available.

I wrote it because I needed something like this for the Installation
Script of SimpleFind. The installer itself cannot do this at this
moment (I think) and so IconCopy was born.

Feel free to use and spread it.


Usage
~~~~~
Since IconCopy is a shell command it can not be started from
Workbench ;-) (but if you do it anywhy IconCopy will do nothing)
and so only a shell template exists:
  SOURCE/A,DEST/A,CHECK/S,UPDATE/S,CONVERTNEWICON/S

SOURCE/A
 The source icon (without ".info")

DEST/A
 The destination (without ".info")
 If there is already an icon, only the image is copied otherwise the
 complete icon is copied.

CHECK/S
 If the icon with the DEST name the icon is not copied.

UPDATE/S
 If dest icon exists, the tooltypes of the source icon, which don't
 exist on in the dest icon are also copied, but marked as deactivated
 (via the '()' pair).

CONVERTNEWICON/S
 If the user has OS3.5 installed every NewIcon which is copied by IconCopy
 is converted to the OS3.5 icon format.

Example
~~~~~~~
IconCopy SYS:Prefs RAM:Test
(copies the SYS:Prefs icon to RAM:Test)

For a more complete example, look into the installation script for
SimpleFind3

History
~~~~~~~

Future
~~~~~~
Enough for my needs...but I'm open for suggestions
(however I think there is room for many improvments)


Notes
~~~~~
Since probably no normal person will install this command on
his/her system you must include it, if your installation script
use this command. However it's enough to include the binary only.
