I'm a little puzzled why someone from Commodore would write this program, since you can get real icons by dropping the fake ones into IconEd and saving them. Oh well, at least it's a lot smaller than IconEd 🙂

Jim, Have you been able to get the silly thing to work? I've tried everything I can think of, and MakeIcons doesn't seem to do anything to any of the icons. Edwin Wiles – elw@netx.com (I got a *domain*!) – Software Engineer

Edwin, It works fine for me.

Steve, It seems that I'm not the only person who can't seem to get it to work. Could you perhaps post a short description on how you use it? Maybe I'm just not clicking on things in the right order? Or am I supposed to use it from the CLI? (I think I've tried that!) Edwin Wiles – elw@netx.com (I got a *domain*!) – Software Engineer

Click on the fake icon you want to make real then look in that directory. -sja

Okay, so maybe I need a longer explanation of MakeReal. Your previous explanation makes me think that I only have t click once on the 'fake' icon and it will be made 'real'? Then where is MakeReal?!? I've tried every combination of clicks that I can think of, and nothing works! Signed, Seriously Confused! <g> Edwin Wiles – elw@netx.com (I got a *domain*!) – Software Engineer

Edwin, I have the same results as you, nada… The only visible effect when I run it is the disk access when it's loaded. Peter
