REQUIREMENTS
 Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS3.5 and

DESCRIPTION
 CondenseIcon is a small tool for os3.5 which can reduce the size
 of .info files by removing any NewIcons- and old/planar icon information
 from the file. It automatically converts NewIcons to os3.5 color
 icons.
 
 
USAGE
 The program can only be started from a shell, the following
 options are provided:

 PATH/M/A,ALL/S,OPT=OPTIMIZE/S,KNI=KILLNEWICONS/T,KOI=KILLOLDICONS/T,
 OD=OLDTODEFAULT/S,CI=CREATEICONS/S,OI=ONLYICONS/S,FL=FRAMELESS/S,Q=QUIET/S
 
 PATH/M/A: files/drawers to scan.

 ALL/S: enter subdrawers.
 
 OPT=OPTIMIZE/S: remove all unused colors from the image data.
 
 KNI=KILLNEWICONS/T: strip off NewIcons data (default: YES).
 
 KOI=KILLOLDICONS/T: strip off old/planar icon data (default: YES).
 
 OD=OLDTODEFAULT/S: if an icon doesn't have a palette mapped image,
  the old image will be replaced by a default one.
 
 CI=CREATEICONS/S: setting this option tells the program to create
  icons for drawers and files that don't have icons.
  
 OI=ONLYICONS/S: if an icon doesn't have a file or drawer associated,
  it will be ignored by default. When using ONLYICONS the program
  ignores any drawer or file that has no .info file.
 
 FL=FRAMELESS/S: make icons frameless.
 
 Q=QUIET/S: no output.
