Yes, I'm looking for the same thing.  The documentation describing
the bitmap file formats in the Win 3.1 API is OK, but there
are lots of details to consider (compression, e.g.).
I could probably get it to work, given sufficient time, but this
is such a standard task that I'd prefer to use published/debugged
code.

BTW, I'm looking for code to load ICONs from disk, too.
