          Before I started using Iconian I made all my icons in DPaint4
          But now I have Iconian and Dpaint 5 I like to use both.
          Dpaint 5 can be quicker in some operations than Iconian.
          So I thought of this Macro feature to make Icons using DPaint 5.
          D5 has great macro features than can really make the program fly.
          They can take some time setting up but there worth it in the
          long run.

          1) Copy the two C: commands to your C:
             IconMerge & Zapicon
          2) Copy the two macros into DP5 Macro draw.
             Br.dprx & Br1.dprx
          3) Copy the two palettes into DP5 Colours draw
             Def-8-col-pal & Mwb-8-col-pal
          4) Copy the IconScreen-MWB.8 to DP5
          
          5) Load IconScreen-MWB.8 into DP5
          6) Make some icons
          7) Use the menu to load the two macros
          8) Br.dprx will make just a single Icon in ram:
             1.st it Saves the brush 
             SAVEBRUSH "Ram:Brush" FORCE
             2.nd it coverts the brush into an Icon.
             "C:ZapIcon Ram:Brush Ram:Brush.icon"
          9) Br1.dprx Will make an animated Icon out of two brushes.
             First pick up your first brush
             Use the Right Alt and N This copy the brush to the spare buffer.
             Pick up the second brush.
             Execute the macro Br1.dprx
             this should create in ram: a Brush.icon
             containing the two images.
             
             Just read the Br1.dprx file to check out what it does.
             You then can use your favorite editor to change it.
