[Coco] Iconvert

[Fred D. Provoncha]

About a month ago there was a discussion here about how Multi-Vue icons 
look different under the most-recent version of Gshell, ver. 1.26 which 
was written by Curtis Boyle. Gshell 1.26 is a great update and I highly 
recommend it, but  the icons do look a little funny. Previously the only 
way to change the colors of the icons to make them look right was to 
painstakingly change all the pixels manually using an icon editor. This 
could take hours if you have a lot of icons like me. During the 
discussion last month, I agreed to write a utility to automate the 
process of updating the colors of the icons. I said the project would 
have to wait until after the holidays though. Well, it's after the 
holidays so yesterday I wrote the utility. I call it 'Iconvert', and 
it's a Basic09 program that you call from the command line. You specify 
an icon filename to convert, and a new filename for the converted icon. 
The program systematically goes thruogh the entire file and changes the 
value of the palette register for each pixel and saves this info to a 
new icon file.

I've uploaded the .zip file containing the executable, souce code, and 
documentation to the two Coco Yahoo! groups. Are there any 
recommendations as to other places I should upload it to? How about 
RTSI? How do you upload something to RTSI?

I would also appreciate comments on what you think of it. Did you find 
it useful? Any suggestions for improvement? If I get some good 
suggestions I may upload a revision.
