Making Windows application icons on Mac

Hi everyone !
I didn't try to build anything for Windows with the latest version of
Revolution but it worked really good with Rev 1.1.1.

Iconographer is the best Icon creation tool (for Mac at least) available.
The IconBuilder Photoshop plugin is very buggy and needs a lot of tweaking.
You can get Iconographer there : http://www.mscape.com/ ...

Tutorial:

1: create a new icon
2: menu "Icon" > "Info"
3: first tab, choose "Windows (.ico file)
4: edit only the 32x32 4-bits icon, 32x32 1-bit mask, 16x16 4-bits icon and
16x16 1-bit mask.
5: menu "Icon" > "Info", the size should be 792 bytes which is bigger than
what Rev is asking but it works ! Weird ?!

Hope it's of some kind of help...
