I see. You're talking about DT/folder icon families. Other than creating
images with Rev's limited capabilities, I don't see any relevence to Rev at
all for what you're talking about. As I see it, it's a Rapid Application
Development tool, not a DT icon tool. I think you're on the right track with
"Iconographer".
