It turns out that there are 2 programs that will do the job: NGI by Kevin Bjorke -- This is a shareware ILBM translation program. It can translate ILBMs (pictures and brushes) to Images, Gels and Icons. Most BBSs and BIX have NGIDemo, a stripped down version of it, that unfortunately has the ILBM->Icon feature turned off. Note also that the icon translation REQUIRES the original image to be a 2-bitplane one. One can get the full version for $25 from the author at: National Pixel Products, 25724 Salceda Rd., Valencia, CA 91355. ZapIcon -- This is from the IFF disk which can be obtained from CBM together with the latest IFF manual, or is available as Fish Disk #64. This is a great program that will translate to icons any image of any resolution. This is the program I ended up using. The program is also available under the name Brush2Icon. Enjoy. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
