I'm currently writing a series of small commandline tools for use with pictures & icon files.

This is a sample of one of them called 'Icon2PNG' which reads a PNG Icon & splits it into PNG files.

It's counterpart - Icon2IFF will open an IFF Icon & export two ILBM Images.

Then there will be PNG2Icon & IFF2Icon that accept two images to make new icons.

Another tool is Pic2IFF which already uses Neuquant Algorithm to quantize a 24/32bit PNG to 8bit IFF.

Lastly there is the gem of them all...ConvertIcon. It will use quantizing to convert 32 PNG Icons directly to IFF Icons.

Hi Mike,

where are downloadable those tools?

The tools are compiled for AROS 68k but I can compile for x86.

I'm revising Icon2PNG also.  :)
