- Well, I can think of a LONG & COMPLICATED way of doing it; requiring
- several programs for the Mac, Windows, and OS/2.
-
- 1. Display the icon you want on the screen on the Mac. Then use some kinda
- of Mac screen capture program and save it as GIF.
-
- 2. Go into Windows and view the GIF. Then load up IconMaster for Windows.
- And use their camera utility to take a "snap shot" of Mac icon you want and
- save it as a Window .ICO file.
-
- 3. Go into OS/2 and covert Window .ICO file to OS/2 .ICO file using the
- Windows -> OS/2 icon converter.
-
- Now, I'm not even sure if the Mac icons are even the same SIZE as Windows/
- OS/2 icons.
-
- Who knows? I don't know Macs very well; maybe there's an option of saving
- a Mac ICO as an OS/2 icon just by pulling down a menu and clicking on an
- option!
